The effect of methotrexate on lipids in serum and liver and key enzymes involved in esterification and oxidation of long-chain fatty acids were investigated in rats fed a standard diet and a defined choline-deficient diet. Hepatic metabolism of long-chain fatty acids were also studied in rats fed the defined diet with or without choline. When methotrexate was administered to the rats fed the st...

the purpose of this study was to determine changes in the normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract and blood parameters of rainbow trout after taking probiotics and oregano extract. this study was completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 3 replicates each with 40 fry 22 g of the rainbow trout. treatments consisted of basal diet, florfenicol, 0.5%, 1% and of oregano extract, 2% bacto...

The lipid composition of a membrane fraction from bovine adrenal cortex was determined. This preparation has the capacity to bind adrenocorticotropic hormone and is enriched in adenylate cyclase and 5'-nucleotidase. The adrenal plasma membranes have a significantly higher lipid content (54.8%) than bovine liver plasma membranes and a surprisingly low proportion of this lipid is cholesterol (4.2...

Water and nitrogen contents were also determined. Measure ments were made on whole tissue, as well as on parenchyma. The hepatoma contained 79% water versus 71% in normal liver; the proportion of nitrogen in the solid matter of the tumor was higher than normal, indicating a decrease in non-nitrogenous compo nents, presumably glycogen and lipids. On either wet or dry weight basis, the hepatoma c...

To study the assembly of newly synthesized lipids with apoprotein A1, we administered [2-3H]glycerol to young chickens and determined the hepatic intracellular sites of lipid synthesis and association of nascent lipids with apoprotein A1. [2-3H]glycerol was rapidly incorporated into hepatic lipids, reaching maximal levels at 5 min, and this preceded the appearance of lipid radioactivity in the ...

This study was designed in order to correlate the flavonoid and lipoidal matters content of Spinach roots and flowers to their hypolipidemic potential. The total flavonoid content was measured via complexation with aluminum chloride while determination of fatty acids methyl esters and unsaponifiable matters contents in both organs was performed using GC/MS. In an in vitro study, the crude etha...

bstract Objective: Although the influence of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), lipids, cholesterol levels, and other blood lipids has been established, few studies have examined the influence of these dietary lipids on the composition and histologic damage of organs in situations of hypercholesterolemia. Biliary lipids come from the...

1. In the dog and monkey bilateral nephrectomy or ureteral ligation results in a marked, progressive increase of total fatty acids, of free and esterified cholesterol, of phospholipid, and of free fat of serum. 2. No such changes follow unilateral nephrectomy, splenectomy, or fasting. 3. The increase after bilateral nephrectomy is not inhibited by glucose administration. 4. A marked increase of...

In the current study the plasma metabolites of silvery-black porgy (Sparidentex hasta) juveniles fed with different lipids sources were analyzed in order to bio-monitoring fish health condition. In this regard, an eight-week feeding trial was conducted using seven isonitrogenous (50%) and isolipidic (20%) experimental diets : FO, CO (canola oil), SO (sunflower oil), T (tallow), FC (fish oil + c...

in this study, the energy reserves of prediapause and diapausing adult bugs were examined using colorimetric biochemical techniques to determine carbohydrates, lipids, glycogen, and protein content. to this end, 45-day-old bugs were obtained from three different sources: laboratory colony, cold-stored insects, or natural habitat. the results showed that prediapause males and females had signifi...
