objective: this study was designed to investigate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract and essential oil of heracleum persicum (apiaceae) on lipid profile of male hyperlipidemic rabbits. materials and methods: thirty rabbits were randomly divided into six groups of five each. one group received normal diet and the other groups fed with a high cholesterol (2% w/w) diet for 7 weeks. vehicle, hydr...

Nano-sized drugs have better distribution than their identical forms. Magnesium is the cofactor of various enzymes in lipid and glucose metabolism. In this study the effect of nano-magnesium oxide (nano-MgO) on glucose concentration and lipid profile in diabetes induced mice was evaluated in 21 laboratory mice. Mice were divided randomly into three equal groups (control, treatment and placebo)....

pythium irregulare oomycetes adapts with environmental changes including crude oil concentration by changing the composition of lipids in the cytoplasmic membrane and providing the required characteristics for adaptation in improper and stressful environmental situations. it was found that cultivation of pythium irregulare lx oomycetes in the nutrient media with different concentrations of crud...

CTX is a rare lipid-storage disease. Novel MRS findings from 3 patients, using a short TE, were the presence of lipid peaks at 0.9 and 1.3 ppm in the depth of the cerebellar hemisphere; this might represent an additional marker of disease that is CNS-specific and noninvasive. A decrease in NAA concentration was also detected and attributed to neuroaxonal damage. One patient presented an increas...

This is the first of two linked articles that highlight the spurious sodium values that can occur if an indirect ISE technique is used to analyze plasma samples with abnormal protein or lipid concentration. The focus of this first article is spuriously reduced sodium (pseudohyponatremia) due to increased plasma protein or lipid concentration, whilst the subject of the second [1] is spuriously i...

Because the ingestion of some types of dietary fibers has been shown to influence on the lipid and lipoprotein levels, it is possible that chitosan influences on lipid metabolism. In the present study, the effects of chitosan on the serum, liver lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in rat were investigated. Serum lipid level in the treatment groups were decreased compared to that of the control...

background: during the procedure of kermanshahi oil production, some changes occur, which might affect the lipid profile of oil. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of kermanshahi animal oil on the lipid profile in healthy men. methods: twenty five healthy men participated in this clinical trial study. after ten days, wash out period that subjects did not consume kermanshahi ani...

A new model describing transport across lipid membrane was developed based on the Statistical Rate Theory (SRT) of interfacial transfer. In our calculations we replaced lipid membrane with well-defined octanol membrane. According to SRT the rate of solute transfer across water/octanol interface depends on the ratio of solute concentration in the both phases and the water/octanol partition coeff...

Studies were carried out to determine the actions of and interactions between ascorbate, NADPH, Fe2+, and Fe3+ on lipid peroxidation in adrenal and testicular microsomes. Ascorbate-induced malonaldehyde production was maximal in adrenal and testicular microsomes at an ascorbate concentration of 1 X 10(-4)M. Fe2+, at levels between 10(-6) and 10(-3)M, produced concentration-dependent increases i...
