Anti-diabetic properties of GUH
… and total cholesterol, tri-acylglycerol (TAG), low density lipoproteins LDL, and high density lipoproteins (HDL) were measured. Results: The effect of GUH in MD fed rats was not marked. However, food intake and weight gain and total cholesterol were lower than in control animals. In HFD fed …

The influence of oxidised low density lipoproteins on platelet activation
The oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) may contribute to platelet hyperactivity and thrombotic events in cardiovascular diseases. Although these pathological particles are known to stimulate platelet activation, the exact signalling mechanisms involved are poorly defined. The aim of this …

The effect of isoflavone supplementation on cardiovascular disease parameters in men undergoing 80% VO₂pk exercise
… the atherogenic effects of oxidative damage on low density lipoproteins (LDL). Current research shows that dietary antioxidant supplementation protects against oxidative stress, and therefore may present preventative measures and treatments for patients with diseases influenced by oxidative …

Antioxidant Nanoparticles as Delivery Systems
… The designed molecule looks for protection of low density lipoproteins (LDL) from oxidation by placing at the LDL interface two potent natural antioxidants. The LDL protection can impact the development and outcome of atherosclerosis. The approach followed was to use the phytyl chain as active …

Evaluation of the Effect of the Clinical-Decision-Support Systems on Diabetes Management: A Multivariate Meta-Analysis Comparison with Univariate Meta-Analysis
… care management based on three indicators. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and blood pressure (PB) have been used as indicators of diabetes care management according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. To combine the …

Estrogen replacement in ovariectomized rats fed safflower oil, coconut oil or cocoa butter: the effects on blood lipids and lipoproteins
… 56 days, diets containing 23% coconut oil, safflower oil or cocoa butter. All diets contained 0.5% cholesterol and 0.5% sodium glycotaurocholate. During the last 28 days of feeding, half the ovariectomized rats received, orally, 30 μg of Premarin per day while other rats received the vehicle …

The Hydrophobic Handoff Between NPC2 and the N-Terminal Domain of NPC1 in the Export of Cholesterol from Lysosomes
Low density lipoproteins (LDL) and related plasma lipoproteins deliver cholesterol to cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis. The lipoprotein is degraded in late endosomes and lysosomes where its cholesterol is released. Egress of cholesterol from late endosomes and lysosomes (hereafter referred to …

Modalities of Cholesterol Binding and Modulation of the NPC Proteins and Scap
Low density lipoproteins (LDL) and related plasma lipoproteins deliver cholesterol to cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis. The lipoprotein is degraded in late endosomes and lysosomes, allowing cholesterol to be released. Export of cholesterol from late endosomes and lysosomes (hereafter referred …

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia: effects of genetic variation in African populations
Background: Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) have been associated with damage to the cardiovascular system in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These patients are two (2X) to four (4X) times more likely to develop cardiovascular diseases (CVD) compared to non-diabetic patients due to …

Molecular Probes for Biologically Important Molecules: A Study of Thiourea, Hydroxyl radical, Peroxynitrite and Hypochlorous acid
… systems. Some species can be beneficial at low doses and harmful at high doses. Other species are highly reactive and trigger serious cell damage. Improved methods to detect the presence and activity of such species are needed. In this work, several biologically important species were …
