The binding and uptake of cholesterol enriched lipoproteins by isolated hepatocytes was decreased at 16 hours after partial hepatectomy, with a tendency to return to control values as the regeneration proceeds. The number of lipoprotein binding sites of total cellular membranes remained similar to control at 16 and 24 hours. The plasma lipoprotein pattern, determined by electrophoretic analysis...

Mice lacking hepatic lipase have been reported to express mild hyperlipidemia characterized by increased concentrations of large high density lipoproteins, but normal concentrations of lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein B. Whereas hepatic lipase has been implicated in the clearance and processing of chylomicron remnants in rats, no such defect was found in these mice. We have further charac...

the purpose of this study was to examine serum selenium (se), lipoproteins and testosterone responses to a single session of circuit resistance exercise. fourteen male college students volunteered in the present study. blood samples were taken at 30minutes before, immediately after 25 and 60minutes of single session of circuit resistance exercise (10 exercise, 20s for each exercise, and at 60%1...

The aim of the present study was to determine whether there was any correlation between serum thyroid hormones, lipids, lipoproteins and the activities of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in adult nonpregnant uniparous Iranian pure bred fat-tailed ewes. Blood samples (10 mL) were taken from the jugular vein of 30 clinically healthy Iranian adult nonpregnan...

Lipoproteins in blood plasma have been quantified and characterized in homozygous Watanabe-heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits, an animal model of human familial hypercholesterolemia. Like homozygous human hypercholesterolemics, WHHL rabbits have a severe deficiency of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors, a prolonged residence time for LDL, and an increased absolute rate of LDL cataboli...

introduction: estrogen is one of the female sex hormones that in addition to its reproductive role, has favorable fects on the metabolism of blood lipids and lipoproteins and by this way decreases the coronary heart disease. n the other hand, phytoestrogens are phytochemical substances that have effects like estrogens. isoflavones, hich the most important of them is genistein, are the most comm...
