Electrophoresis of serum on filter paper followed by staining 3 of the lipoprotein fractions with lipid dyes is technically the simplest method for the separation and estimation of serum lipoproteins. A number of procedures for the staining of separated lipoproteins on paper with various lipid dyes have appeared (1-8), but the only comprehensive consideration of the quantitative aspects of dye ...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of good glycemic control on serum lipids levels and lipid peroxidation, and to find out the relationship between the level of malondialdehyde and hba1c in type 2 diabetes. materials and methods: fifty type 2 diabetic patients aged 40-60 years with the history of diabetes for more than 10 years were studied. glycemic control was stable ...

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 mos...

If small quantities of clear, hypercholesterolemic rabbit serum or of clear human serum, carrying their lipids as soluble lipoproteins, are injected aseptically into the rabbit's cornea, stainable lipid is retained in the corneal stroma, and the fluid portion of the injected serum is absorbed.' The cornea, rendered opaque by the injection, again becomes translucent within a few hours. If the ey...

In view of the importance now attached to them it is remarkable that the lipoproteins of human serum received so little attention from early workers. In 1929 Machboeuf isolated an alpha-lipoprotein from horse serum and in 1935 McFarlane, in the course of ultracentrifuge studies of human serum, discovered the " X-Fraction " which was later shown by Pedersen to be beta-lipoprotein. The developmen...

BACKGROUND Oral cancer is the 8th most common cancer worldwide. Squamous cell carcinomas constitute 94% of all oral malignancies and are often preceded by leukoplakia. Despite many adjunctive techniques to monitor transformation of leukoplakia to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the mortality rate is on the rise. Incidentally, patients diagnosed with oral potentially malignant disorders (OP...

AIMS To investigate the effect of pregnancy on serum concentrations of lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins. METHODS Fasting serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), apolipoproteins AI, AII, and B, and lipoprotein (a) were measured in 178 women with normal glucose tolerance in the secon...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The role of lipoprotein abnormalities in the development of ischemic cerebrovascular disease has not been sufficiently clarified. The aim of this study was to identify the lipoprotein profile in ischemic cerebrovascular disease and the possible role of apolipoprotein E polymorphism. METHODS The relation between the concentrations of lipoprotein(a), intermediate density ...
