In this study the hypoglycaemic, hypocholesterolaemic and hypotriglyceridaemic effects of garlic were studied in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Compared to normal (non-diabetic) rats, STZ-induced diabetic rats had approximately 200% higher serum glucose, 50% higher serum cholesterol and 30% higher serum triglyceride levels as well as 86% higher urinary protein levels. Daily treatme...

to evaluate the concentrations of serum lipids and lipoproteins and their correlations together and withthyroid hormones in gray necked ostrich (struthio camelus), the serum levels of cholesterol, triglyceride,total lipids, very low density lipoproteins (vldl-cholesterol), low density lipoproteins (ldl-cholesterol)and high density lipoproteins (hdl-cholesterol) and their correlations with tri-i...

abstractantioxidants are effective in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. lavandula officinalis possesses antioxidant activity, therefore, in this study, the effects of lavandula officinalis extract were investigated on serum lipids levels of rats. experimental mature male wistar rats were treated with 100, 200 or 400 mg/kg/day of lavender ethanolic extract or distilled water f...

a dummy variable technique that allows simultaneous study of subgroup combinations from the placebo and treatment groups. Medwxs and Results. In the placebo group (n=2,045), the low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio was the best single predictor ofcardiac events. This ratio in combination with the serum triglyceride level revealed a high-...

Endothelial lipase (EL) is a new member of the triglyceride lipase gene family previously reported to have phospholipase activity. Using radiolabeled lipid substrates, we characterized the lipolytic activity of this enzyme in comparison to lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) using conditioned medium from cells infected with recombinant adenoviruses encoding each of the enzymes. In ...

Intravenous infusion of 500 ml of 6% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, average molecular weight 40,000) in isotonic saline solution daily for 2 days induced prompt and significant reductions in serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in eight hyperlipidemic patients. Mean maximal decrements in serum cholesterol and triglyceride were 29% and 28% below control values, respectively, occurring 5...

The gut microbiota has recently been identified as an environmental factor that may promote metabolic diseases. To investigate the effect of gut microbiota on host energy and lipid metabolism, we compared the serum metabolome and the lipidomes of serum, adipose tissue, and liver of conventionally raised (CONV-R) and germ-free mice. The serum metabolome of CONV-R mice was characterized by increa...

Reagent method sheets for analysis of common serum analytes often highlight the possibility of interference from lipaemia but the information given is often brief and may not be instrument-specific. Thus study assesses the degree of interference from lipaemia in a range of common serum analytes on the Bayer Opera (with a serum blank) using a commercial polymer, LipoClear, as a lipid-clearing ag...

BACKGROUND Whether serum triglyceride level correlates with clinical outcomes of patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) remains unclear. METHODS From June 2008 to February 2012, all patients with STEMI who were treated with pPCI in this tertiary referral hospital and then had fasting lipid profiles measured...
