For various reasons plasma catecholamines should be measured in arterial blood when comparing hypertensive and normotensive groups (1, 2). Measurements of plasma catecholamines in peripheral venous blood may conceal important hypertensive-normotensive differences (2). Plasma catecholamines seem to be subjected to a peripheral arterialvenous fractional extraction of approximately 50%. Thus, arte...

The effects of breakfast type on body weight and blood lipids were evaluated in university freshman. Seventy-three subjects were instructed to consume a breakfast with eggs (Egg Breakfast, EB, n = 39) or without (Non-Egg Breakfast, NEB, n = 34), five times/week for 14 weeks. Breakfast composition, anthropometric measurements and blood lipids were measured at multiple times. During the study, me...

Numerous studies have examined relationships between disease biomarkers (such as blood lipids) and levels of circulating or cellular fatty acids. In such association studies, fatty acids have typically been expressed as the percentage of a particular fatty acid relative to the total fatty acids in a sample. Using two human cohorts, this study examined relationships between blood lipids (TAG, an...

The objective of this research is to determine the effect of consumtion of ginger on blood lipids of the hypercholestrolemia patients who referred to clinics at Shaheed Modarres Hospital at Tehran. This double-blind clinical trial was conducted in 23 subjects with hypercholestrolemia by using before-after treatment method. The subjects referring to clinics at Shahid Modarres Hospital were selec...

Lipid metabolism may be involved in the pathogenic mechanism of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, conflicting results have been reported in the associations of AMD with blood lipids. We performed a meta-analysis including a total of 19 studies to evaluate associations between blood lipids and this disease. The result reported that the high level of high-density lipoprotein choles...

Amphiphilic lipids and hydrophobic proteins are vaporized at atmospheric pressure using nonresonant 70 femtosecond (fs) laser pulses followed by electrospray post-ionization prior to being transferred into a time-of-flight mass spectrometer for mass analysis. Measurements of molecules on metal and transparent dielectric surfaces indicate that vaporization occurs through a nonthermal mechanism. ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of turmeric powder (trp), tomato pomace (tp), fat sources (canola oil, soybean oil and tallow) on immune system and jejunum morphometric parameters of heat stressed broiler chickens. five hundred four one-d-old ross broiler were randomly distributed to 36 experimental units and 12 dietary treatments (3 replicates with 12 birds in each). the ...
