Determination of serum cholesterol concentration in the presence of ascorbate.

The Effect of Estrogen on Endothelial Permeability of Aorta and the Level of Serum Nitrite Concentration in Cholesterol‑Fed Ovariectomized Rabbit

Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) in postmenopausal women may decrease the risk of Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD). We hypothesized that Nitric Oxide (NO) releasing due to ERT may be the essential factor by which endothelial permeability decreases. Four groups of ovariectomized rabbits were under investigation for five weeks. Groups 1 & 4 received high cholesterol diet and other two groups (2 &...

A simple method for the determination of serum cholesterol

DETERMINATION OF SERUM LIPOPROTEINS IN BETA-THALASSEMIA TRAIT AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO CHRONIC HEMOLYSIS

100 patients with beta-thalassemia trait, comprised of 55 men and 45 women, participated in a study to measure serum lipoproteins. The results were compared with the data obtained from 100 control subjects of the same age and sex. A significantly lower level of mean serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, and a much higher level of HDL cholesterol were obtained in beta-thalassemia trai...

In Vitro Antioxidant and Hepatoprotective Activity of Ethanolic Extract of Bacopa monnieri Linn. Aerial Parts

The ethanol extract of Bacopa monnieri Linn. (Schrophulariaceae) aerial parts (EBM) was investigated for any in vitro and in vivo antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects. EBM was prepared and estimation of total phenolics was carried out. Further, the antioxidant activity of EBM was studied using four in vitro models. The amount of total phenolics was estimated to be 47.7 (g of pyr...

Effects of Dietary Chitosan on Serum Lipid and Lipoprotein Concentration in Rats

Because the ingestion of some types of dietary fibers has been shown to influence on the lipid and lipoprotein levels, it is possible that chitosan influences on lipid metabolism. In the present study, the effects of chitosan on the serum, liver lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in rat were investigated. Serum lipid level in the treatment groups were decreased compared to that of the control...
