Elevation of blood triglycerides, primarily as triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TGRL), has been linked to cerebrovascular inflammation, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Brain microvascular endothelial cells and astrocytes, two cell components of the neurovascular unit, participate in controlling blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and regulating neurovascular unit homeostasis....

An initial step in reverse cholesterol transport is the movement of unesterified cholesterol from peripheral cells to high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). This transfer usually occurs in extracellular spaces, such as the subendothelial space of a vessel wall, and is promoted by the interaction of lipid-free or lipid-poor apolipoprotein (apo)AI with ATP binding cassette A1 cellular transporters on ...

this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of different dietary protein (30, 35, 40%) and lipid levels (10, 12, 14%) on growth performance and physiological changes of juveniles caspian kutum (rutilus frisii kutum). six hundred and seventy five fish (1.15 ± 0.01 g) were distributed into 27 aquaria (45 l) and were fed four times daily for 8 weeks. interaction between protein and lipid di...

We have investigated the role of lipid and protein dynamics in the activation of the Ca2+-dependent ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) by diethyl ether. Conventional and saturation-transfer electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) were used to probe rotational motions of spin labels attached either to fatty acid hydrocarbon chains or to the Ca-ATPase in SR. We confirm previous studies (Salama, ...

The plasma lipid transfer proteins mediate the transfer and exchange of phospholipids and neutral lipids between the plasma lipoproteins. The cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) and the phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) are members of the lipid transfer/lipopolysaccharide binding gene family. The CETP contains binding sites for cholesteryl ester and triglycerides and probably acts by a...

the object of this study was detecting protein and lipid contents on two types on iranian oncorhynchus mykiss & franciscan oncorhynchus mykiss for detect better samples on quality. in this research two methods were used for determining lipids (suxeleh) and proteins (kajheldal). results have revealed the lipid contents in iranian samples were 4.88 , 5.18 and 5.96 and in franciscan samples were 4...
