Free Radical Activity, Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Status in Diabetes Mellitus
… accelerated atherosclerosis. Increased levels of lipid peroxides and diminished antioxidant vitamin status have been reported in diabetic patients and are also implicated in the chronic complications of diabetes. The autoxidation and glycoxidation reactions of glucose are sources of free radicals …

The effect of exercise and fish oil supplements on the blood lipid levels of the hamster
… of aerobic 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 …

Metabolism of omega-3 fatty acids in carriers of apolipoprotein E epsilon 4
… acid supplements for six months, APOE4 carriers’ plasma omega-3 fatty acid levels would not increase in the LPC and FFA plasma lipid compartments compared to non-carriers of the APOE4. To investigate this, we analysed DHA and EPA concentrations in the following plasma lipid compartments: LPC, …

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 ROLE OF BOTANICAL OILS ENRICHED IN FADS2-DERIVED N-3 VS. N-6 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS IN PREVENTION OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
… the atheroprotection of dietary PUFAs is due to plasma lipid lowering, in vivo conversion of 18 carbon PUFAs through the rate-limiting fatty acid desaturase-2 (FADS2, delta-6 desaturase) step of fatty acid desaturation and elongation results in 18 and ≥ 20 carbon PUFAs that are substrates for …

Postprandial Effects of Pecans Ingestion on Plasma Level of Nutrients, Polyphenolic Compounds and Biomarkers of Antioxidant Status in Human Volunteers
… capacity results in favorable reductions in plasma lipids and lipoproteins. However, the health benefits of pecans may not be limited to blood lipid changes. There has been very little investigation into the contribution of bioactive components found in nuts to antioxidant protection. The …

Regulation of Nutrient Metabolism in Equine Skeletal Muscle and Adipose Tissue
Glucose and lipid metabolism are dysregulated in obese horses. Altered glucose metabolism is evidenced by the development of insulin resistance and increased fasting plasma insulin concentrations (hyperinsulinemia) while altered lipid metabolism is evidenced by increased plasma lipid …

Influence of seasonal drought on body condition and nutritional state in selected tropical birds
… blood samples, of which 319 were assayed for plasma lipid metabolites to examine nutritional state. The clearest evidence of elevated nutritional stress at the end of the extreme dry season came from a focal species for which longer dry seasons has a significant negative effect on population …

The effect of different sources of dietary fiber on the plasma total and lipoprotein cholesterol, liver cholesterol, fecal neutral steroid excretion and histology of major organ tissues in hamsters
… diets with various dietary fiber sources on the plasma lipids, liver cholesterol, the histology of the gastrointestinal tract, heart, liver and kidney and the fecal neutral steroid excretion was investigated in hamsters. 155, 9-11 wk old, male Golden-syrian hamsters were fed a purified basal …

Studies into novel therapies for the treatment of inflammatory artery disease
… A clinical study showed that while circulating plasma MPO levels were not different in AAA patients versus healthy controls, immunohistochemistry showed that the MPO protein was prevalent in human AAA tissue. In the angiotensin II (AngII)-infusion model of AAA and atherosclerosis in …

Polimorfisme gen apolipoprotein E pada pasien infark miokard akut (IMA) di Rumah Sakit dr. Saiful Anwar Malang
… E) memiliki peran yang penting dalam metabolisme lipid dalam plasma. Kadar lipid sangat dipengaruhi oleh polimorfisme gen Apo E. Apo E terdiri dari tiga macam alel, yaitu ε2, ε3, and ε4 yang membentuk 6 genotip E2/E2, E3/E3, E4/E4, E4/E2, E4/E3, dan E3/E2. Sehingga polimorfisme gen Apo E mempunyai …

The effects of chronic and acute exercise modalities on substrate utilization and plasma adiponectin concentration
Impaired lipid metabolism at rest has been linked to the development of insulin resistance and an attenuation of plasma concentration of the hormone adiponectin. However, it has been suggested that increasing fatty acid oxidation at rest, via exercise or otherwise, may augment plasma adiponectin. …
