Plasma glucose, free fatty acid, ketone, and triglyceride concentrations were measured at frequent intervals after the administration of alloxan to rats. Hepatic triglyceride levels were determined in the same animals. During the second 24-hr period after alloxan administration, severe ketoacidosis developed and triglyceride concentrations in the liver became markedly elevated. This finding was...

UNLABELLED Inflammation is thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder (BP) and metabolic syndrome. Prior studies evaluated the association between metabolic profiles and cytokines only during certain mood states instead of their changes during treatment. We enrolled drug-naïve patients with BP-II and investigated the correlation between changes in mood symptoms and metabo...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to estimate the effects of a 3-year dietary intervention on age-related changes in triglyceride and apolipoprotein (apo A-V) levels in patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or new-onset type 2 diabetes as a function of the APOA5 -1131 T > C polymorphism. METHODS We genotyped the APOA5 -1131 T > C polymorphism in 203 Korean individuals with IFG o...

objective: to ascertain the effects of soy [in the forms of textured soy protein (tsp) and soy-nut] on lipid profiles, apolipoproteins, inflammatory and prothrombotic markers and blood pressure in elderly women with the metabolic syndrome. materials and methods: the study is a 12-week parallel randomized controlled trial that was conducted in rural health centres of babol, iran. the participant...

Discussion: A large part of both clinical and subclinical lesions found in our daily work are benign and correspond with fibrocystic changes (FCC). This entity is complex and part exhibit traits that define characteristically in MRI and diagnose correctly, but there is another small group of changes that can take the image aspect of cancer. From a complex case, we review the main aspects of the...

The triglyceride content of the plasma very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) fraction is the most important factor affecting the size of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in humans. Because cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) can influence the size distribution of LDL particles in human plasma, the implication of lipid transfers in the formation of small-sized LDL patterns, which have been asso...

Twenty two subjects (9 males, 13 females) were fed a fat-rich meal (1 g of fat/kg body weight). Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) were isolated by ultracentrifugation (d less than 1.006 g/ml) from blood drawn 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 hr after the meal. Plasma triglyceride increased then decreased postprandially, while plasma apoA-I and apoB concentrations decreased. TRL triglyceride, TRL total pro...

Abstract Our objectives were to determine changes in colostrum yield and composition across the 36 hours post-calving effects of late gestational nutrient restriction (NR) on these changes. Fall-calving, crossbred beef heifers (BW: 472 ± 33 [SD] kg; BCS: 5.4 0.5) individually fed 100% (control; CON; n = 13) or 70% (NR; NASEM metabolizable energy protein requirements for maintenance, growth, pre...

background: the role of uric acid as a risk factor for vascular disease and acute stroke is controversial and there is little information about it. in this study, we determined serum uric acid levels in patients with acute stroke and assessed its relationship with cerebrovascular risk factors. methods: in this cross sectional study, we assessed patients with acute stroke who were admitted in fi...
