The effect of fish consumption on plasma lipoprotein subfraction concentrations was studied in 22 men and women (age > 40 y). Subjects were provided an average American diet (AAD, 35% of energy as fat, 14% as saturated fat, and 35 mg cholesterol/MJ) for 6 wk before being assigned to a National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Step 2 high-fish diet (n = 11, 26% of energy as fat, 4.5% as satu...

Obesity is a condition of excess body fat mass with cardiometabolic complications. The levels serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) decrease in obesity because it stored adipose tissue compartments and related to dyslipidemia conditions. A high triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio dyslipidemia. Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) one the parameters indicating central visceral distribution Thi...

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) plays a key role in the protection against oxidative damage of lipoprotein and biological membranes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the antioxidant role of HDL and the HDL-paraoxonase (PON) activity in healthy subjects and in type 1 diabetic patients. Moreover, the ability of HDL of controls and diabetic patients to prote...

To investigate the effects of daily supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on coronary heart disease risks in 38 middle-aged men with hypertension and/or hypercholesterolemia in Scotland, a five-week double-blind placebo-controlled dietary supplementation with either 2 g of DHA or active placebo (1 g of olive oil) was conducted. Percent composition of DHA in plasma phospholipids increa...

To better understand the role of LCAT in HDL metabolism, we compared HDL subpopulations in subjects with homozygous (n = 11) and heterozygous (n = 11) LCAT deficiency with controls (n = 22). Distribution and concentrations of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I)-, apoA-II-, apoA-IV-, apoC-I-, apoC-III-, and apoE-containing HDL subpopulations were assessed. Compared with controls, homozygotes and heteroz...

Introduction. Currently, there is no unified treatment algorithm of cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim the study was to investigate effects simvastatin (SIM) and -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (-3 PUFAs) on blood lipid profile insulin resistance (IR) definite neuropathy. Materials methods. involved 72 T2DM CAN. Patients were divided in...

Coordinating firmware development among many international collaborators is becoming a very widespread problem in high-energy physics. Guaranteeing synthesis reproducibility and assuring traceability of binary files paramount. We devised Hog (HDL on git), set Tcl scripts (no external tool or library needed) that tackles these issues deeply integrated with FPGA IDEs (Xilinx Vivado Design Suite/I...

the major lipoprotein classes are heterogenous. human serum high-density-lipoproteins (hdl) are separated into two major subfractions (hdl2, d=1.063-1.125 g/ml, hdl3, d=1.125-1.210 g/ml) by a simple double precipitation method. there was a strong inverse relation between hdl-cholesterol (hdl-c) and subfractions hdl2-c and hdl3-c with atherosclerosis. this study demonstrated that hdl-c (p<0.001)...
