The present study examined whether the effects of dietary-induced hyperlipidaemia on preimplantation embryo development depend on the predominant fatty acid (FA) type in the diet. In a combined in vivo-in vitro bovine model, two groups of cows (n=3 in each group) were fed with three diets consecutively (4 weeks feeding for each): (1) a maintenance control diet (CONT); (2) a high-starch diet ric...

Zieve's syndrome consists of transient haemolytic anaemic, jaundice, hyperlipidaemia and alcohol-induced liver disease. It is rare with less than 75 cases reported in a Medicine literature search from 1966. It can present acutely with abdominal pain.

Hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia are major risk factors for coronary artery diseases and atherosclerosis. Peach gum polysaccharides (PGPs) possess various bioactivities. In this study, PGPs were extracted with thermostable α-amylase and investigated in terms of hypolipidaemic and hypoglycaemic activities. KKAy mice were gavaged once daily with either PGPs or distilled water (control group) fo...

The rising incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in affluent populations has focused attention onto predisposing risk factors, among them high blood levels of cholesterol and triglyceride. In some inherited disorders characterized by hyperlipidaemia the risk of developing CHD is extremely high, and attempts at preventing CHD should in the main concentrate on these individuals in view of the...

In order to investigate the known associations between hyperlipidaemia and various rheumatic complaints, immune arthritis and hyperlipidaemia have been induced concurrently in rabbits. The results obtained show that: (1) Rabbit apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins (LpB), which are normally virtually excluded from joint fluid, gain access to the inflamed joint in the serous effusion and serv...

Lipid metabolism was evaluated during management of phaeochromocytoma in a 41 year old non-obese post-menopausal women with familial combined hyperlipidaemia. The main effect of the excess catecholamine secretion on lipid metabolism was increased lipolytic activity, lower serum triglyceride and increased HDL cholesterol concentrations, compared with findings following removal of the tumour.
