Abstract Background The aim of this study was to clarify the differences in morphological features between long plantar ligament (LPL) and short (SPL). Methods This investigation examined 50 legs from 25 Japanese cadavers. LPL SPL each leg were classified into one three types based on shape number fiber bundles. Then, bundle length, width, thickness measured. Results rectangular (Type I) 12%, h...

Diabetes mellitus is associated with a reduction of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and development of hypertriglyceridemia. In the current experiments the mechanisms involved in the regulation of LPL have been examined in control rats, streptozocin-induced diabetic rats, and diabetic rats treated chronically or with a single injection of insulin. Diabetes decreased adipose tissue LPL activit...

there is just one study about the effects of 830 nm low power laser (lpl) on conduction velocity of sural nerve in human. considering the fact that the sural nerve is a pure sensory nerve, therefore, for determining the effect of lpl on electrophysiological parameters of the nerve in human, this study was carried out as a base for further basic and clinical researches. thirty eight normal volun...

Varying glucose and fatty acid (FA) concentrations in the medium of cultured cardiomyocytes from adult rat hearts were tested for effects on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity. Glucose (5.5, 11, and 25 mM in the culture medium for 18-22 h) had no effect on either heparin-releasable LPL (HR-LPL) or on cellular LPL (C-LPL) activities. When cardiomyocytes were cultured overnight with 60 μM oleate, ...

OBJECTIVE Although epidemiologic data suggest that hypertriglyceridemia and elevated plasma levels of fatty acids are toxic to arteries, in vitro correlates have been inconsistent. To investigate whether increased endothelial cell expression of lipoprotein lipase (LpL), the primary enzyme creating free fatty acids from circulating triglycerides (TG), affects vascular function, we created transg...

The cell cycle is an ordered set of events, leading to cell growth and division into two daughter cells. The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of interphase (G1, S, and G2 phases), followed by the mitotic phase and G0 phase. Many bacterial pathogens secrete cyclomodulins that interfere with the host cell cycle. In Staphylococcus aureus four cyclomodulins have been described so far that all represe...

Endocrinologists often diagnose and treat patients with Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), but genetic causes like Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS) Multifactorial (MCS) can be missed in everyday practice. These are caused by mutations the Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) gene or genes required for LPL activity present treatment-refractory elevated fasting Triglycerides (TRGs) recurrent episodes of abdo...

Abstract Background Primary hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by the mutations of genes related with triglyceride metabolism, including apolipoproteins and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) among others. Germline in LPL gene cause familial deficiency an incidence about 1:1,000,000. It often diagnosed childhood consanguinity common. Case presentation We present...

The mechanisms involved in the nutritional regulation of genes encoding lipogenic (lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and fatty acid synthase (FAS)) and lipolytic (hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL)) enzymes were investigated by comparing the levels of the corresponding mRNAs in the adipose tissue (AT) of underfed or underfed-refed ewes and cows. Refeeding sharply increased LPL and FAS activities (19-25- and...
