The study of the plasma lipoproteins in recent years has significantly broadened our understanding of lipid metabolism and lipid transport. Incisive studies into the structure and function of the lipoprotein species have contributed to significant advances in our understanding and management of lipid disorders. All of the lipoproteins are related and interact dynamically within the vascular sys...

The Study involved twenty healthy adult white male rabbits (Lepus arcticus L.). the average weight (1500- 1600) Kg and aged from eight months to one year. ware divided four groups(G) each group contains five rabbits. G1 was treated with normal saline (1.5) ml orally as negative control group, G2 lead acetate (150) mg/kg positive G3 aqueous extract of Panax ginseng (400 ) b.wt G4 ( 400) after 3 ...

BACKGROUND Although there is considerable interest in the postprandial events involved in the absorption of dietary fats and the subsequent metabolism of diet-derived triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins, little is known about the effects of meal fatty acids on the composition of these particles. OBJECTIVE We examined the effect of meal fatty acids on the lipid and apolipoprotein contents of tri...

Plasma triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins are related to high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Two major hypotheses on the role of HDL in the development of CAD have been proposed: a 'causalist' view assigns a protective effect against atherosclerosis to HDL and a 'non-causalist' view states that HDL do not interfere directly with development of ...

Purpose of the study. The goal present study was to evaluate effect low dosed statins (rosuvastatin 10 mg/day) on state lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, insulin levels, vascular endothelial function, markers systemic inflammation in patients with ischemic heart disease combination diabetes mellitus.
 Materials research methods. We examined 83 type 2 mellitus aged 44 78 years (mean age (5...

Lithium is widely used in medicine as an anti-depressive drug. In spite of abundant literature, questions on the side effects of lithium ions are far from being answered. In this study, the effects of lithium on biochemical parameters related to lipid metabolism were investigated. Male Wistar rats were treated with different doses of lithium for a period of up to 60 days. Blood samples were col...

aim and background: major depressive disorder (mdd) is known to play a major role in the onset of coronary artery disease (cad). several studies demonstrated an association between dyslipidemia and mdd. the present study aimed to investigate the mean serum lipoproteins and apolipoprotein level in patients with mdd. method and materials: thirty-two patients, who fully met the fourth diagnostic a...

Hepatocytes express on their surfaces more than one class of receptors capable of mediating the internalization of lipoproteins. However, relatively little is known about the binding characteristics of hepatic receptors for various lipoproteins, about the regulation of the receptors, and about the consequences for intracellular lipid metabolism of uptake of lipoproteins via different classes of...

Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high cardiovascular risk. CKD patients exhibit a specific lipoprotein pattern termed ‘uraemic dyslipidaemia’, which characterized by rather normal low-density cholesterol, low high-density and triglyceride plasma levels. All three classes are involved in the pathogenesis of CKD-associated diseases (CVDs). Uraemia leads to several modifica...

Very-low-density (VLD) lipoproteins and portomicrons were isolated from the plasma of immature and laying hens and their size, lipid composition and susceptibility to hydrolysis by lipoprotein lipase were compared. In agreement with other studies, VLD lipoproteins from laying hens were found to be smaller and have a different lipid composition than VLD lipoproteins from immature hens. Portomicr...
