Lipids in Hepatoma

No Association between Serum Lipids Levels and Lipids Oxidizability in Type 2 Diabetes

Objective: Diabetes is the most common metabolic disease. One of the most common problems in diabetic patients is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease which induced by hyperlipidemia. Also there has been currently great interest in the potential contribution of oxidative stress in development of diabetes complications. The present study was performed to associate between lipid oxidizability a...

Evolution of Lipids – Lipids in Evolution

Cirrhosis and hepatoma in alcoholics.

The cause of cirrhosis in alcoholics is unknown but nutritional deficiencies have been invoked as being important, largely on the basis of experimental work in animals. This includes the production of fatty liver and cirrhosis in rats by diets deficient in lipotropic substances such as choline and methionine (Blumberg and McCollum, 1941) and by low-protein diets (Rich and Hamilton, 1940). The r...

Evaluation of plasma lipids and lipoproteins in patients with psoriasis

Psoriasis is an epidermal disease characterized by chronic relapsing papillon squamous erythematous plaques which may develop in the skin of elbows, knees and extensor surfaces. The cause of psoriasis is unknown. The primary etiologic factor may be related to excessive uncontrolled synthesis is resulting from changes in (1) the function of growth factors ( EGF),(2) presence of proto- oncogenes,...

Cytotoxicity of Subtoxic AgNP in Human Hepatoma Cell Line (HepG2) after Long-Term Exposure

Background: We aimed at evaluating the toxicity effects of low (subtoxic) concentrations of silver nanoparticles (AgNP, 5-10 nm) in human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cell line after and during a period of about one month. Methods: XTT and MTT assays were used to draw a dose-response curve IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) value of the AgNP on HepG2 cells was calculated to be 2.75-3.0 mg/l...
