The purpose of this study was to determine changes in hematological and plasma indices of Common Carp Cyprinus carpio with regard to age, sex and hormonal treatment. Sixty fish were used to assess the age factor. Also, 20 fish including female and male were assigned to determine blood indices with regard to sex and hormonal treatment. The pituitary gland extract was used as hormone for males an...

The recently identified apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) has been shown to play an important role in determining plasma triglyceride concentrations in humans and mice. We previously identified an APOA5 haplotype (designated APOA5*2) that is present in approximately 16% of Caucasians and is associated with increased plasma triglyceride concentrations. In this report we describe another APOA5 haplo...

The liver plays a central role in regulating lipid metabolism and facilitates efficient lipid utilization and storage. We discovered that a modest increase in maternal dietary fat in mice programs triglyceride storage in the liver of their developing offspring. The activation of this programming is not apparent, however, until several months later at the adult stage. We found that the perinatal...

The effects of eicosapentaenoic acid and oleic acid on lipid synthesis and secretion by HepG2 cells were examined to identify fatty acid specific changes in lipid metabolism that might indicate a basis for the hypolipidemic effect attributed to eicosapentaenoic acid and related n-3 fatty acids. Cellular glycerolipid synthesis, as determined by [3H]glycerol incorporation, increased in a concentr...

OBJECTIVE Treating dyslipidemia in diabetic patients is essential, particularly among minority populations with increased risk of complications. Because little is known about the impact of outpatient diabetes management on lipid outcomes, we examined changes in lipid profiles in urban African-Americans who attended a structured diabetes care program. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A retrospectiv...

For the last 30 years fibrates have been widely prescribed to treat human dyslipidemia. However, the primary mechanism by which they lower plasma lipid levels is still unknown. Studies with transgenic mice have suggested that changes in apoC-III expression levels have a dramatic influence on plasma triglyceride levels. These results suggested that fibrates could reduce lipid levels by lowering ...

objective: dm is a major medical problem in developing countries such as iran. blood sugar and lipids levels increase in diabetics exacerbates the onset of diabetes mellitus (dm) late complications. researchers have focused on herbal medicines improve sugar and lipid levels against side decreasing effects and possible inefficacy of chemical drugs. this study has assessed the effect of curcumin ...
