Lipid profiles of deep-sea organisms
Lipids are a group of biologically important compounds that may be used as indicators of relationships between an organism and its environment. Lipid class composition identifies types of storage lipid which can suggest a pelagic or benthic existence and may be used to measure the condition of an …

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 use of lipid profiles from immobilised selenastrum capricornutum in the biological surveillance of freshwaters
The use of lipid profiles from the immobilised alga Selenastrum capricornuizim was investigated as a potential indicator of heavy metal pollution in freshwater environments. The toxicity of Cu", Zn 2 and Cd2t on algal growth was determined and the effective concentration inhibiting specific growth …

Physical Activity-Associated Differences in Placental Lipid Profiles and Docosahexaenoic Acid Uptake: Insights from Lipidomics and an In Vitro Exercise Model
… have yet to be elucidated. Placental lipid composition and uptake can provide a wealth of information on placental and fetal lipid availability, and their downstream pathways. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a fatty acid of particular importance for fetal brain and retinal development, …

Uterine immune mediators and lipid profiles of the preimplantation embryo and endometrial tissue in Holstein cows supplemented with rumen-protected methionine and observed neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation in the bovine endometrial tissue
… the effects of rumen-protected methionine on the lipid profiles of the preimplantation embryo and endometrial tissue. Multiparous Holstein cows (n = 20) were randomly assigned to two treatments starting at 21 d before calving until 73 days in milk (DIM). Treatments were: CON (n = 9, no …

Evaluation of hydrothermal pretreatment and fermentation to improve lipid and ethanol production from corn germ meal
… marginal lands. However, low concentrations of lipids in current engineered plant biomass samples makes extracting the oil challenging and expensive. The objectives of this work were to use hydrothermal pretreatment on oil bearing biomass for lipid enrichment and to investigate how lipid …

Multifaceted Nutritional Intervention In Hemodialysis Patients
… attributed to by malnutrition, inflammation, dyslipidemia and oxidative stress. Dietary intervention using nutrients with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential lipid altering properties to correct the aforementioned problems remain inconclusive. Furthermore, such nutritional intervention …

Association of dietary and phosphatidylcholine supplement intake with cardio-metabolic biomarkers among normo- and hyperlipidaemic individuals
Hyperlipidaemia is a worldwide health problem and is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease. Phosphatidylcholine is a component of cellular membranes and plays a vital role in lipoprotein metabolism. Many studies have investigated the effects of phosphatidylcholine on lipid …

APOE, PCSK9, and CETP genetic variants as potential biomarkers of dyslipidaemia in black South Africans with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Dyslipidaemia is a commonly encountered clinical condition and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Although there are many factors associated with dyslipidaemia, a strong genetic component is evident. Apolipoprotein E (APOE), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), …

A Correlational Analysis of Anthropometric Measures and Selected Blood, Immune and Endocrine Indices in Adult Males
… metabolic and immune parameters measured were: lipid profiles, fasting blood glucose, cortisol, white blood cell count and differentials, and lymphocyte proliferation. Percentage body fat was significantly related to a deterioration in the lipid profile as represented by an increase in both very …
