متن کاملWhither the lipid profile: feast, famine, or no free lunch?
A lipid profile (LP) is used in clinical practice to assess risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to guide therapy. The standard LP includes a direct measurement of plasma total cholesterol, triglyceride, and HDL cholesterol concentrations, and derived estimates of LDL cholesterol, non–HDL cholesterol, and lipid ratios (1 ). Expert guidelines recommend that accurate assessment of the LP requ...
متن کاملLysosomes for lunch
I f an intracellular parasite is too successful at hiding itself, it can end up starving. Toxoplasma gondii gets around this potential problem by munching nutrient-fi lled host lysosomes, say Isabelle Coppens and colleagues. T. gondii has an extraordinary mechanism for creating a parasitophorous vacuole (PV) around itself—it motors into a host mammalian cell and uses a ring-shaped moving juncti...
متن کاملMicrobial pathogenesis: Lipid rafts as pathogen portals
The route of initial entry influences how host cells respond to intracellular pathogens. Recent studies have demonstrated that a wide variety of pathogens target lipid microdomains in host cell membranes, known as lipid rafts, to enter host cells as an infectious strategy.
متن کاملFast Food Ingestion for Lunch Delays Postprandial Lipid Metabolism in Young Women
We investigated the effect of fast food on diurnal lipid and carbohydrate profiles in healthy young Japanese women. Eight healthy young women with the apolipoprotein E3/3 phenotype were studied on two occasions in a randomized crossover design. On one occasion, the subjects consumed common foods at breakfast (9:00), lunch (13:00), and dinner (19:00) (C trial). On the other occasion, they consum...
