Some factors influencing serum triglyceride in man
… further the epidemiological factors influencing serum lipid (and in particular, serum triglyceride) levels in the population groups of Southern Africa. The original objectives are described on page 70 and the main conclusions summarised on page 114. Part III describes three studies which were …

The regulation of postprandial lipemia in man
The regulation of the serum triglyceride responses to fat ingestion have been examined in normolipidemic men. To evaluate the existing methods for comparing chylomicron-triglyceride clearance, the oral and intravenous fat tolerance tests and a steady state duodenal perfusion method were compared. …

The effect of feeding either egg white, soy and nonfat dairy protein in male subjects on plasma levels of triglycerides and very low density lipoproteins under controlled conditions
… between the dietary treatments. Plasma total triglyceride and very low density lipoprotein-triglycerides were measured at the beginning, weekly throughout the experimental period, and two weeks after completion of the study. No significant differences existed in serum lipid values between …

Selected nutritional and biochemical characteristics of non-institutionalized rural elderly women living in Story City, Iowa
… samples were obtained and analyzed for total serum cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), serum triglyceride, serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM), serum albumin and total serum protein. Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations were calculated. Serum …

A comparison of the effects of a 20% corn oil diet and a 20% corn oil diet supplemented with 13-cis-retinoic acid on total serum tryglicerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids in the rat
… puncture. Blood samples were collected and serum prepared for determination of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids. Serum cholesterol and phospholipid levels in the rats fed the diet supplemented with 13-cis-retinoic acid were not significantly different from the control animals; …

Fasting Plasma Amino Acids in Relation to Serum Lipids in Human Male Subjects
… association of fasting plasma amino acids with serum lipids was studied in 23 healthy human male subjects with ages ranging from 31 to 62 years (45±9, mean± SD). There were 12 normocholesterolemic (serum cholesterol = 183±17 mg/dL) and 11 hypercholesterolemic (271±27 mg/dL) subjects. Venous …

Elucidating the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Hepatic Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR)-mediated Effects that Contribute to the Triglyceride-Lowering Ability of a Grape Seed Proceyanidin Extract
… disease, and function partially by reducing hypertriglyceridemia. Grape seed procyanidin extract (GSPE) was shown to decrease triglyceride levels via activation of the nuclear hormone receptor, farnesoid x receptor (FXR), thereby increasing small heterodimer partner (SHP) messenger ribonucleic …

Digestion and palatability of corn oil in equine
… and were not affected by feeding corn oil. Serum cholesterol increased from the addition of corn oil (122, 144, 148, 155 mg/100 ml for rations containing 0, 5, 10 and 20% oil, respectively). Serum triglyceride levels were not affected by ration fed. Serum calcium and magnesium levels …

The Dietary and Endogenous Components of Human Serum Triglycerides in Alimentary Lipemia
… following the ingestion of a fat meal, the serum triglyceride concentration rises to a peak level approximately four hours after the meal and falls to the original fasting level within eight hours (1, 2). Excessive and prolonged alimentary lipemia occurs in several types of familial …

Effects of diet on body weight, body composition, metabolic status, and physical activity of adult female dogs after spay surgery
… high-fiber diet plus omega-3 and medium-chain triglyceride fats (HP-HF-O). Four dogs were sham-operated and fed the control diet (COSH). During the study, food intake was recorded daily, body weight was recorded twice a week, and body condition score was evaluated weekly. Blood was collected …

Infrared spectrophotometric analysis of serum triglycerides
<p>In recent years elevated levels of serum triglycerides have become of increasing importance in the field of medical technology. Abnormally high triglycerides have been claimed to be a major cause of numerous diseases and illnesses. Fredrickson and his associates (7, 15) have introduced a system …

Triglyceride synthesis in normal and hyperapoB fibroblasts
… was to examine the regulation of intracellular triglyceride synthesis from normals and HyperapoB patients using cultured skin fibroblasts as an experimental model. In a medium supplemented with lipoprotein-deficient serum, triglyceride synthesis and cholesterol esterification were reduced in the …

Metabolic Bioactivity of Athrixia phylicoides
… followed by an oral glucose tolerance test and serum lipids assessment. The degree of steatosis was assessed in liver sections. RESULTS: Results suggested that A. phylicoides increased glucose uptake as well as AMPK phosphorylation in insulin-resistant C2C12 myocytes but had no effect on insulin …

Pharmacokinetics and effect of pioglitazone in obese, insulin-resistant cats
… in diabetics, pioglitazone decreases hepatic triglyceride content in humans with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Cats, like humans, are predisposed by obesity to a form of diabetes characterized by peripheral insulin resistance and insulin secretory defects. They are also prone to a …
