چکیده

Experiments were designed to study whether or not the mechanism of handling dietary cholesterol in adulthood can be modulated by the manipulation of cholesterol homeostasis during neonatal period. The effects of enhancing cholesterol degradation (cholestyramine feeding), high dietary cholesterol intake, and early weaning during neonatal period of guinea pigs on their subsequent plasma cholesterol levels and the response to dietary cholesterol challenged in adulthood were investigated. Pretreatment of neonatal guinea pigs with cholestyramine resulted in (a) a lower plasma cholesterol level, (b) an increased excretion rate of fecal bile acids and total steroids, (c) an expanded bile acid pool, (d) an increased activity of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase, and (e) no change in the hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (CoA) reductase activity when challenged with cholesterol in adulthood. Cholesterol pretreatment during neonatal period resulted in (a) no alteration in the plasma cholesterol level, (b) no alteration in the fecal excretion of steroids, or (c) no alteration in the cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity when they were challenged with a high cholesterol diet. Early weaning did not influence the fecal excretion of steroids or cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity but resulted in a slight decrease in the hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase activity when they were challenged with a high cholesterol diet. These results suggest that stimulation of cholesterol catabolism rather than cholesterol feeding or early weaning during neonatal period can influence the response to dietary cholesterol challenge in adulthood.

Alterations of triglyceride and cholesterol in response to Aloe vera gel extract in HepG2 cells and hyperlipidemic guinea pigs

Aloe vera is well-known for its pharmacological and nutritional properties. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of A. vera gel extracts on the secretion and cell content of triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC) in HepG2 cells and their short-term effects on the dietary hyperlipidemic guinea pig model. The effects of increasing concentrations of A. vera crude gel and its al...

Thiazolidinediones are commonly used anti-diabetic drugs. Owing to the anti-inflammatory action of TZDs as a result of there action on the PPAR gamma receptor and a proposed action on the prostaglandins, these drugs can be tried in the acute exacerbations of COPD that are also commonly found among diabetic patients. An experimental study of one week was carried out at animal house of Army Medic...
