probiotics are defined as living microorganisms with beneficial effects on the host. probiotics, according to the least negative effect on the body, are considered as a good alternative to chemical drugs. lactobacillus acidophilus is used as a probiotic that is able to reduce cholesterol level in the blood. the effect of various concentrations of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus for enhancing th...

This study was designed to determine the optimum conditions of three different factors (mixing time, mixing temperature, and tube size) in reduction of cholesterol in milk using immobilized beta-CD beads. Immobilized beta-CD glass beads were prepared at different conditions of silanization and beta-CD immobilization reactions. In result, the glass beads (diameter 1 mm) at 20 mM 3-isocyanatoprop...

background: based on literature, in vitro cholesterol removal of lactic acid bacteria has been accounted for their in vivo cholesterol reduction. but recently, it has been proposed that such in vitro characteristic may not be directly relevant to their in vivo activity. the objective of this study was to find how much in vitro cholesterol reducing potential of lactobacillus plantarum a7 (la7), ...

HDL plays an initial role in reverse cholesterol transport by mediating cholesterol removal from cells. During infection and inflammation, several changes in HDL composition occur that may affect the function of HDL; therefore, we determined the ability of acute-phase HDL to promote cholesterol removal from cells. Acute-phase HDL was isolated from plasma of Syrian hamsters injected with lipopol...

The present study was carried out to develop crosslinking of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) using adipic acid, and to determine the optimum conditions of different factors (β-CD concentration, mixing temperature, mixing time and mixing speed) on cholesterol reduction from homogenized milk. Crosslinked β-CD was prepared with adipic acid. When the milk was treated with different conditions, the cholestero...

This study was carried out to optimize cholesterol removal in whole egg using crosslinked β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and to recycle the β-CD. Various factors for optimizing conditions were concentration of the β-CD, mixing temperature, mixing time, mixing speed and centrifugal speed. In the result of this study, the optimum conditions of cholesterol removal were 25% crosslinked β-CD, 40°C mixing tem...

The health risk associated with high cholesterol levels in the human body has motivated intensive efforts to lower them by using specialized drugs. However, little research has been performed utilizing nanomaterials to remove extra cholesterol from living tissues. Graphyne, a 2D lattice of spand sp-hybridized carbons similar to graphene, possesses great potential for cholesterol extraction from...

In atherosclerosis, cholesterol accumulates in intimal macrophages. As the macrophages become cholesterol-loaded, they are converted into foam cells. Indeed, the formation of macrophage foam cells is considered to be a key event in early atherogenesis. Since the ingested cholesterol does not elicit negative feedback regulation of lipoprotein uptake by the macrophages [1], removal of excess cell...
