There?s no need to pause that guacamole-filled chip in midair or reconsider ordering avocado toast at brunch. While it might concern you that avocados are high in fat, you may be relieved to hear that it's a nutritious kind of fat, monounsaturated fats! These fats, which promote lower blood cholesterol levels, assist with blood sugar maintenance (especially for people with typeII diabetes), and...

OBJECTIVE To investigate involvement of specific apolipoproteins in the process of human oocyte maturation and age-related infertility as molecular constituents of follicular fluid. DESIGN Laboratory-based observational study. SETTING Basic science laboratory at a large academic institution. PATIENT(S) Follicular fluid obtained from healthy women aged 18 to 45 years undergoing in vitro fe...

Four glycolipids have been isolated from three fractions of pig blood. The glycolipids were presumably cerebroside, diglycosyl ceramide, triglycosyl ceramide, and globoside. The blood fractions were erythrocytes and plasma high and low density lipoproteins. Fatty acid distributions were determined for each glycolipid as a means to assist in identifying relationships among the several glycolipid...

Abstract Background and aims Metabolic bariatric surgeries are potentially efficacious treatment options in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, previous meta-analyses focused on individual operative approaches rather than the mechanistic pathways behind different procedures. Thus, this updated network meta-analysis aimed to synthesize new evidence comparatively evaluate effi...

Evidence has been presented for the possible transport function of conjugated roach plasma proteins during molting. Extensive changes in these proteins are evident during the premolt stage. The remainder of the instar appears to be devoted to a gradual return to the intermolt stage. This recovery process is characterized principally by a transformation of less mobile lipoproteins to lipoprotein...

The ability of rat intestine and liver to synthesize the various apoproteins of plasma lipoproteins was investigated. After the individual isolated organs were perfused with blood containing [(3)H]lysine, chylomicrons plus very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), and high density lipoproteins (HDL) were isolated from the perfusates and the intestinal lymph. After li...
