Preeclampsia is characterized by development of high blood pressure and proteinuria. It affects 5–8% of all pregnancies and is a major contributor to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. In Saudi Arabia, the incidence of preeclampsia is extrapolated to 13,876 out of a population of 25,795,938.In view of increasing number of preeclamptic cases in women of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the objecti...

in order to determine the lipids and lipoproteins profiles in iranian khouzestanian arab horses, blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 77 horses(47 female, 30 male) from different age groups(< 6, 7-12, 12-36, 37-60, 61- 69 and > 96 months). serum cholesterol and triglyceride were measured by enzymatic methods and lipoproteins by precipitation methods. the results were analyzed b...

Human plasma low density lipoprotein uptake by the urogenital pathogen, Trichomonas vaginalis, was examined. Rapid binding and internalization of 125I-labeled low density lipoproteins by live T. vaginalis was observed at 37 degrees C. Data showing parasite degradation of the internalized apoproteins and lipid accumulation following low density lipoprotein uptake was obtained. Acquisition of low...

This paper analyses the diagnostic utility of interleukins (1, 4, 6) and lipid metabolism products (cholesterol, triacylglycerols, lipoprotein fractions) in subclinical ketosis cows. It was found that serum levels proinflammatory (IL-1 IL-6) anti-inflammatory (IL-4) cows with did not differ from those clinically healthy animals. therefore indicates absence inflammation form ketosis. These data ...

Incubation of phosphatidylcholine vesicles with isolated high density lipoproteins (HDL) or with whole plasma results in transfer of phospholipid into HDL. To investigate the mechanisms of this process, small unilamellar vesicles of egg phosphatidylcholine were incubated with human HDL3 (d 1.125 to 1.210 g/ml) or with plasma and were subsequently analyzed by density gradient ultracentrifugation...

Microalgae are an alternative source of renewable energy and high-value products for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, etc., due to rich in carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, high-density lipoproteins. Existing methods cell disruption extraction costly suffered from low proficiencies. Ionic liquids proven be environmentally friendly substitute conventional volatile organic solvents. They have been u...

Understanding the chemical nature of biomarkers and their interaction with host environment is critical to both development implementation diagnostic tools therapeutics. Human lipoproteins, such as high-density lipoprotein (HDL) low-density (LDL), are important carrier molecules for transporting cholesterol other lipid organs where they can be processed. These lipoproteins have more recently be...

Abstract Rationale Sepsis is a life-threatening, dysregulated response to infection. Lipid biomarkers including cholesterol are dynamically regulated during sepsis and predict short-term outcomes. In this study, we investigated the predictive ability of lipid for physical function long-term mortality after sepsis. Methods Prospective cohort study patients admitted surgical intensive-care unit (...
