in this research 20 specimen from human whole milk and whey were studied with respect to lipoproteins, cholesterol and triglycerides, 2-8 months after parturition. the whey was separated by means of ultracentri fugation. also the 24 hour diet history was recorded. the average lipoprotein components in normal human milk were, chylomicron 16.19%±11.98%, beta lipoprotein 36.71%±9.33%, pre beta-lip...

Background: The correlation between coronary artery disease and androgenic alopecia has been demonstrated, but the mechanism of this association still remains to be cleared. Objective: To investigate lipid profile, as an indicator of coronary artery disease, in women with female pattern alopecia. Methods: Fifty one women with female pattern alopecia and thirty one healthy women with normal hair...

1. Post-heparin lipolytic activity in man has been studied by using a triglyceride substrate emulsion containing different emulsifiers. 2. The lipolytic activity measured was profoundly influenced by the type of emulsifier used in the substrate. Substrate stabilized by synthetic emulsifiers give higher lipolytic activity than Intralipid, which contains egg phospholipids as emulsifiers. This dif...

The retention of atherogenic lipoproteins in the artery wall through their interactions with the arterial extracellular matrix is a critical step in the development of atherosclerosis, as outlined in the 'response to retention' hypothesis. Lipoprotein retention by vascular proteoglycans is thought to be the principle means of lipoprotein retention, although lipoprotein binding to other componen...

Giant HeLa cells, having a spread diameter of about 200 micrometers, were briefly surface-labeled at 0 degree C with 125I-labeled transferrin, low density lipoprotein, anti-HeLa cell antibody, or concanavalin A. The cells were washed at 0 degree C, fixed, and autoradiographed. The distribution of grains when either anti-HeLa cell antibodies or concanavalin A was used was roughly as expected: th...

In recent publications (l-3), the clearing factor of postheparin plasma has been identified with a lipoprotein lipase obtained from rat, rabbit, and calf heart and rat and rabbit adipose tissue. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of the triglyceride moiety of chylomicrons and low density @-lipoproteins. The hydrolysis of simple triglyceride emulsions is also catalyzed by lipoprotein lipase bu...
