The scientific project is focused on the effect of a diet with the addition of flaxseed with a high content of n-3
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), fiber and lignans on the metabolic profile, fatty acid concentrations,
proliferative, apoptotic, inflammatory and regenerative processes in tissues of fattening pig. The achieved results
will contribute to the expansion of knowledge about the mechanisms of action of bioactive components of
flaxseed at the cellular level as well as to the innovation of the regulation of functional foods production and
development intended for human consumption.
