BACKGROUND LDL can vary considerably in its cholesterol content; thus, lowering LDL cholesterol (LDLC) as a goal of statin treatment implies the existence of considerable variation in the extent to which statin treatment removes circulating LDL particles. This consideration is particularly applicable in diabetes mellitus, in which LDL is frequently depleted of cholesterol. METHODS Type 2 diab...

We have reported previously that canine livers possess two distinct lipoprotein receptors, an apoprotein (apo)-B,E receptor capable of binding the apo-B-containing low density lipoproteins (LDL) and the apo-E-containing cholesterol-induced high density lipoproteins (HDLc), and an apo-E receptor capable of binding apo-E HDLc but not LDL. Both the apo-B,E and apo-E receptors were found on the liv...

Low serum total cholesterol (TC) in workers has been taken to indicate absence of cardiovascular (CV) risk. In angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease TC has been shown to be less poignant than compound indices of cardiovascular risk in separating patients from controls. The implications for prevention in an industrial medical setting of relying on TC measurements are discussed. Empl...

The incidence of fasting HLP in 326 diabetics was 68.4 percent. The common types of HLP were type IV, IIb, IIa and III respectively. There was one case of type V. HDLC was decreased in all three groups of diabetics together with elevated ratio of TC to HDLC comparing with the controls of similar age and sex VLDL and TG were significantly elevated in NIDDM aged 60 and over comparing with IDDM bu...

HDLC are the high level data link control procedures established by ISO, They are widely used in digital communication and are the bases of many other data link control protocols. The objective of this paper is to implement a Single-Channel HDLC Controller on an Altera FPGA. All the modules such as the transmitter and the receiver are designed and implemented using VHDL programming language and...

PURPOSE Genetic variants in genes encoding components of lipid metabolism have been associated with AMD. The aims of this study were to evaluate the relation of these genetic variants with serum lipid levels in AMD in a large case-control cohort (n = 3070) and to test for correlations between lipids and complement activation. METHODS Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight lipid metab...

Objectives—Exercise increases fatty acid oxidation (FAO), improves serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) and triglycerides (TG), and upregulates skeletal muscle peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) expression. In parallel, PPAR agonist-upregulated FAO would induce fatty-acid uptake (via peripheral lipolysis), and influence HDLc and TG-rich lipoprotein particle metabolis...

BACKGROUND Though large epidemiological studies have not established associations between blood lipids and ischemic stroke, increasing evidences have suggested that lipid-modifying agents may reduce cerebrovascular events. AIMS To determine whether blood lipids are risk factors for ischemic stroke among hypertensive rural adults in China. SETTINGS AND DESIGN A cross-sectional survey was con...
