Serum concentrations for the cholesterol and triglyceride content of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and the cholesterol content of intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and the high density lipoprotein fractions (HDL2), HDL3) were measured in 337 men and women with the apo E phenotype who were born in the Grampian Region of North East Scotland. The subjects...

An analysis of plasma lipids and lipoprotein fractions was performed over the course of the annual ovarian cycle of the female turtle, Chrysemys picta. Determinations of total plasma triglycerides, cholesterol, vitellogenin and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) were made. The lipid and protein composition of the lipoprotein fractions [very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL)...

background: little is known about the effects of a low energy dense diet on weight maintenance and cardiovascular risks following a recent weight reduction. therefore, we assessed if weight maintenance, lipid profiles and glycemic control differ between low energy density diet and usual diet consumers following a recent weight reduction. method s: seventy patients with the history of weight red...

OBJECTIVES Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is the most prevalent precancerous condition in India. Low levels of lipids serves as a marker and prognostic indicator in the early detection of oral precancerous and cancerous states. In spite of the high prevalence and its potential to undergo malignant transformation, this condition has not widely been investigated with respect to the serum lipid le...
