The interaction of sonicated, small vesicles of egg phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol (2:1, mol/mol) with bovine high density serum lipoproteins was examined in terms of lipid transfer between both types of particles and the resulting changes in lipoprotein structure. Saturation of high density lipoprotein preparations with vesicle lipids gave final lipoprotein particles with essentially unch...

During the past two decades, major progress has been made in understanding the plasma lipid transport system. Such advances have shown that the metabolic fate of plasma lipids in the form of plasma lipoproteins are subject to specific regulatory controls dictated largely by their composition, quantity, specific surface apolipoproteins, and several lipolytic enzymes. The lipid and apoprotein com...

The aim of the study was to evaluate level amylase in serum diabetic patients compared healthy controls, glucose, lipids, lipoproteins, thyroid hormones, electrolytes (calcium, potassium, and sodium) transporter enzymes were also studied. (AST), (ALT),(ALP). enzyme purified association between previously mentioned variants it studied other biochemical variables found that there a significant po...

To test the hypothesis that genetic susceptibility or resistance to diet-induced atherosclerosis is correlated with serum levels of specific lipids, lipoproteins, or apoproteins, male mice of a genetically susceptible and a genetically resistant strain were fed either a normal or an atherogenic diet. After 20 weeks on a normal diet, neither the resistant nor the susceptible strain mice had athe...

Serum lipids and serum uric acid have been studied in 50 patients with ischemic thrombotic cerebrovascular disease. Patients having diseases known to predispose to hyperuricemia were excluded. Abnormalities of large vessels were present in 14 or 30 cases (46.6%) as a whole, and in 9 of 16 cases (56.5%) below 40 years of age. Thirty percent of the cases showed hyperuricemia. A statistically sign...

100 patients with beta-thalassemia trait, comprised of 55 men and 45 women, participated in a study to measure serum lipoproteins. the results were compared with the data obtained from 100 control subjects of the same age and sex. a significantly lower level of mean serum total cholesterol and ldl cholesterol, and a much higher level of hdl cholesterol were obtained in beta-thalassemia trait as...

objective: the lipid composition of a mammal’s spermatozoa and seminal plasma vary in both structure and function. evidence exists to suggest that dietary supplementation with the appropriate polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) affects spermatogenesis, semen quality and sperm motility. therefore, this study has been conducted to evaluate the correlations between serum lipid profile and histolog...
