The colorimetric estimation of free and combined cholesterol in serum.

اثر توام چربیهای اشباع و کلسترول دریافتی بر لیپیدهای سرم در ساکنین

Background: Despite many studies on the effect of saturated fat and cholesterol intake on serum lipids, data on the combined effect of these two dietary components on serum lipoprotein response is very limited. Materials and methods: In this study, a representative sample of 443 subjects, aged 18 years and over, were included. Dietary intake was assessed by means of two 24–hour dietary recall...

Materials and Methods: In a semi-experimental design, 21 females with Type 2 diabetes (age: 43 ± 4.92 years and body mass index 29.57 ± 4.17) voluntary participated in study and randomly divided into three: Aerobic exercise,...

The colorimetric estimation of total cholesterol in whole blood, serum, plasma and other biological material.

A Micromethod for the Determination of Free and Combined Cholesterol*

In this communication we present an accurate, rapid, and relatively simple procedure for the determination of free and total cholesterol in blood or other biological material. The method has been especially designed for serial analyses, and a single worker can carry out sixteen to eighteen analyses per day with ease. Only 0.2 cc. of serum or whole blood is required for the determination of both...

Association of Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase rs5923 Polymorphism in Iranian Individuals with Extremely Low High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study

Background: The serum concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is one of the important heritable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and is a target for therapeutic intervention. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) gene polymorphism rs5923 on LCAT enzyme activity and serum HDL-C concentration. Methods: The study...
