Effect of resistant starch consumption on body weight and blood lipid profiles
Dyslipidemia is characterized by an abnormal amount of lipids in the blood and can be improved through lowered body weight. In this study, we hypothesized that resistant starch prepared from high amylose corn (HAM-RS2), would improve plasma lipid profile, and decrease body weight in …

The Effect of Normobaric Normoxic and Hypoxic Exercise upon Plasma Total Homocysteine and Blood Lipid Concentrations
… and after four weeks of chronic exercise. A blood sample was taken at rest pre and post chronic exercise to ascertain their lipid profile, plasma total homocysteine, folate and vitamin B 12 levels. Each subject completed a seven day food and fluid intake pamphlet pre and post chronic …

The effect of exercise and fish oil supplements on the blood lipid levels of the hamster
… exercise and fish oil supplements on plasma lipid parameters was investigated in the hamster. The hamsters were fed a basal hypercholesterolemic purified diet (0.1% cholesterol, 15% fat) to elicit an elevated lipid response. Fifty-six hypercholesterolemic hamsters were divided into four …

The effects of niacin and a single bout of exercise on blood lipid and lipoprotein profiles in postmenopausal women
… both exercise and niacin positively alter blood lipids and lipoproteins; however, these interventions have not been studies in postmenopausal women. The purpose of this study was to examine the independent and combined effects of niacin and a single bout of exercise on the blood lipid and …

The Effects of Soy Protein and Isoflavones on Lipid Oxidation and Blood Lipid Profile on Humans Participating in Moderate Physical Activity
The purpose of our study was to compare the effects of dietary soy protein and animal protein (casein) on plasma lipoprotein concentrations, and exercise induced oxidation in human subjects. Sixteen normocholesterolemic young men participated in 30 min of cycling at 70% VO2pk to induce plasma …

The effects of dietary protein source on the development of cholesterol metabolism
… regarding the effects of dietary protein on blood lipids in adult humans and animals; however, little is known of the action that protein source may have on cholesterol levels in infants. The research of this thesis addresses the following questions; (1) do infant formula proteins affect …

Independent and interacting effects of diet and genetic risk on obesity-related comorbidities
Introduction: Dyslipidemia results from behavioral and biological factors. Elevated triglyceride (TG) and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations are common in obesity. Dietary guidelines for dyslipidemia management encourage replacing saturated (SFA) with unsaturated …

Growth Hormone and Melanin-Concentrating Hormone receptor in the regulation of energy balance and metabolism
… pancreas islet hyperplasia, and dyslipidemia, but no changes in energy expenditure were observed. Thus, GH is an orexigenic signal in the CNS that leads to obesity and alters insulin and blood lipid profiles. Mice deficient in the gene encoding GHr (GHr KO) were injected in the CNS …
