PURPOSE Previous reports suggest that age-related meibomian gland atrophy is associated with decreased expression of the lipid-sensitive nuclear receptor, PPARγ. The purpose of this study was to identify the role of PPARγ in modulating meibocyte lipid synthesis. METHODS Cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions from meibomian glands of young (2M) and old (2Y) C57Bl6 mice were probed using antibodies ...

background: the present study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of bilateral uterine artery ligation (bual) on the ovarian follicular fate, and alterations in carbohydrate, lipid, lipase and serum levels of f9sh, lh, prolactin, estrogen and progesterone. methods: twenty-four mature female rabbits divided into two test and control-sham groups. the animals underwent ovariohystrectomy...

Women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus should be prescribed a contraceptive that has little to no impact on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and that has a very low risk profile for microvascular and macrovascular complications. However, it is unknown whether progestogen-only, combined estrogen and progestogen, or nonhormonal contraceptives vary in terms of effectiveness, adverse effect...

This article presents the research findings regarding protein, lipid, and carbohydrate-energy metabolism indices in rats under acute (AS) chronic hypokinetic stress (HS) their combinations. HS its combinations with AS were found to decrease protein various extents, causing a negative nitrogen balance body. increased lipid indices, which are factors of atherogenesis body (levels total cholestero...

Food composition tables (FCT) were validated against chemical analysis (CA) to assess energy, carbohydrate, lipid, protein and fibre content of the food consumed by Italian Army cadets. The absolute difference between FCT and CA in 2 separate weeks was < or = 0.7% for energy, < or = 4.1% for carbohydrates, < or = 2.9% for lipids, < or = 6.2% for proteins and < or = 31.6% for fibre. It is conclu...

This report describes an experimental procedure for constructing integrated lipid, carbohydrate, and protein microarrays. In essence, it prints liposomes on nitrocellulose-coated micro-glass slides, a biochip substrate for spotting protein and carbohydrate microarrays, and the substances that can form liposomes (homo-liposomes) or can be incorporated into liposomes (hetero-liposomes) are suitab...

The aim of this study was to investigate how the dietary balance between protein, lipid, and carbohydrate affects growth, welfare, health with focus on immune responses, in lumpfish body weight ranges 1.7-10 g 15-50 g. A three-component mixture design, simultaneous variation three macronutrients applied. Growth, tissue plasma nutrient composition, cataract frequency, responses leukocytes isolat...

OBJECTIVEdTo study the effects of high-protein versus high-carbohydrate diets on various metabolic end points (glucoregulation, oxidative stress [dichlorofluorescein], lipid peroxidation [malondialdehyde], proinflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-a and interleukin-6], adipokines, and resting energy expenditure [REE]) with high protein–low carbohydrate (HP) and high carbohydrate–low prot...

The mechanistic pathway for the antidiabetic efficacy of ethanolic extract of Punica granatum flowers (PgEFet) has been investigated by measuring the status of blood glucose, plasma insulin, carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes, lipid peroxidation and antioxidants as biochemical end points in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of...
