Anti-hyperlipidemic activities of Ilex latifolia and other selected herbs
Hyperlipidemia is defined by abnormally elevated levels of one or more lipids such as cholesterol or triglycerides in the bloodstream. It also involves elevated levels of lipoproteins especially LDL-cholesterol and this is the most common form of dyslipidemia. Hyperlipidemia is the result of …

Autoimmune Responses to Atherosclerotic Lipids: A Study In Murine Models of Atherosclerosis and Obesity
… occurred in spleens of db/db mice with hyperlipidemia. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) was increased in db/db spleen, while TNF-α receptor expression augmented in the db/db murine heart, in comparison with those in normal mice. The nuclear factor-κ B (NF-κB) expression was enhanced …

Mechanisms behind the lipid-lowering effects of ACTH - Studies in different experimental models
… recent data indicate that the adverse effects of hyperlipidemia is related to the number of atherogenic particles rather than to molar concentrations of plasma lipids, or lipoprotein lipid levels. In agreement with the findings in vivo, ACTH did not affect lipid synthesis or secretion from hepatic …
