Using the Intralipid lipid tolerance test we could not demonstrate any direct effect of serum triglyceride on uric acid or any influence of hyperuricaemia on triglyceride removal. This result supports previous studies suggesting that hyperuricaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia are linked through the association of obesity and alcohol excess rather than a direct cause and effect mechanism. It was p...

Apolipoprotein B (apoB), the major protein component of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, is assembled into a lipoprotein particle via a complex, multistep process. Recent studies indicate that triglyceride-rich lipoprotein assembly requires the activity of the heterodimeric protein, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP). We identified a novel inhibitor of apolipoprotein B secretion usin...

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic importance of diabetes mellitus, hematologic and biochemical test findings including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte systemic inflammation response index triglyceride-glucose in patients with Bell’s palsy compare these results healthy subjects.Material Methods: The included 75 incomplete palsy.and 24 subjects as contr...

The effect of human C-I, C-11, and C-111-2 apolipoproteins on the metabolism of triglyceride in triglyceride emulsions was studied in the in vitro perfused rat liver and the nonreplicating hepatocyte monolayer culture. All three human apolipoproteins delayed hepatic uptake of the triglyceride emulsion, both when the emulsion was supplemented with human apolipoprotein E and without this apolipop...

OBJECTIVE The association between triglyceride level and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) remains controversial. In particular, the prognostic significance of triglyceride levels in established CAD is unclear. We aimed to assess the relationship between triglyceride levels and long-term (>10 years) prognosis in a cohort of patients after complete coronary revascularisation. DESIGN Ob...

Effects of dietary carbohydrates on triglyceride production and hepatic lipogenic enzyme activities were examined in Wistar fatty rats, an animal model of noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus, fed fructose or glucose and were compared with those of Wistar lean rats. Carbohydrates were supplied in 10% drinking solutions for 21 days. As compared with lean rats, Wistar fatty rats were characteri...

Despite massive fluctuations in its internal triglyceride content, the liver secretes triglyceride under tight homeostatic control. This buffering function is most visible after fasting, when liver triglyceride increases manyfold but circulating serum triglyceride barely fluctuates. How the liver controls triglyceride secretion is unknown, but is fundamentally important for lipid and energy hom...
