Cortisol and Postpartum Luteal Function in Cattle
The present study investigated serum cortisol in response to postpartum ovarian resumption and luteal function. Postpartum ovarian resumption was detected based on a rise in progesterone (P4) concentrations during three weeks after calving. Twenty two Holstein cows in a semi-closed dairy farm in Qena city, Egypt were used. The study was carried out from late March to early June; the period char...
متن کاملIncreased LDL cholesterol and atherosclerosis in LDL receptor-deficient mice with attenuated expression of scavenger receptor B1.
Scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI) is a multiligand cell-surface receptor that plays a central role in high density lipoprotein homeostasis in rodents. To investigate a role for SR-BI in atherosclerosis, mice with attenuated SR-BI expression were crossed with low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient mice. Compound-homozygous mutants showed increased plasma cholesterol, surprisingly due prima...
متن کاملThe detection of Scavenger Receptor-B1 expression and its role on the function of platelets in patients with atherosclerotic disease
Background and Objectives SR-B1 acts as the main receptor for HDL and plays an important role in reverse cholesterol transport. In contrast to LDL level which causes Atherosclerotic plaque in artery, plasma concentration of HDL correlates inversely with the incidence of coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. This study investigates the expression of Scavenger Receptor-B1 and its role on t...
متن کاملScavenger receptor B1, the HDL receptor, is expressed abundantly in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells
Cholesterol from peripheral tissue, carried by HDL, is metabolized in the liver after uptake by the HDL receptor, SR-B1. Hepatocytes have long been considered the only liver cells expressing SR-B1; however, in this study we describe two disparate immunofluorescence (IF) experiments that suggest otherwise. Using high-resolution confocal microscopy employing ultrathin (120 nm) sections of mouse l...
متن کاملScavenger Receptor Structure and Function in Health and Disease
Scavenger receptors (SRs) are a 'superfamily' of membrane-bound receptors that were initially thought to bind and internalize modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL), though it is currently known to bind to a variety of ligands including endogenous proteins and pathogens. New family of SRs and their properties have been identified in recent years, and have now been classified into 10 eukaryote f...
