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 …

Some factors influencing serum triglyceride in man
… 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 conducted in an attempt to fill some of …

ROLE OF APOLIPOPROTEIN A-V IN TRIGLYCERIDE METABOLISM
… yet exert significant effects on triglyceride homeostasis. To examine the basis for its low concentration in plasma, the secretion efficiency of apoA-V was measured in stably transfected McA-RH7777 rat hepatoma cells. Pulse-chase analysis revealed that only ~20% of newly …

Effects of exercise and diet on muscle triglyceride
… the effects of exercise and diet on muscle triglyceride. Seven endurance-trained men completed a 120min cycling bout at 65% of V O2max in an attempt to lower muscle glycogen and triglyceride. Each subject then ingested an isocaloric, high-carbohydrate (HI-CHO; 83% of kcal) or high-fat …

Solubilization-emulsification processes in nonionic surfactant-water-liquid triglyceride systems
Liquid triglycerides, the major component of cooking oils, have been found difficult to remove from synthetic fabrics during washing. The relatively strong adhesion force between triglycerides and fabric and their high molecular volumes make detergency mechanisms which work well for other soils and …

Regulation of plasma triglyceride metabolism : some nutritional and endocrine effects
During the past two and a half decades, numerous studies on plasma lipids and lipoproteins have appeared in the medical literature. The tremendous interest in this field, no doubt relates largely to the long-known and well established association between· elevation of plasma lipids and …

Skeletal Muscle and Post-Heparin Plasma Lipoprotein Lipase Activities (Exercise, Triglyceride)
… enzyme responsible for the clearance of plasma triglycerides (TG). The LPL activity of adipose tissue, but not skeletal muscle, has been studied extensively. Although a quantitative relationship between LPL activity, plasma TG levels and the rate of plasma TG removal has not been substantiated, …

Synthesis of a triglyceride containing a lactonizable hydroxy fatty acid and investigations into the behavior of this triglyceride and related lactones with application to the analysis of beef tallow
… glycerol. This triglyceride proved extremely useful in evaluating methods for the analysis of triglycerides containing lactonizable hydroxy fatty acids. The approach chosen was preparation of 5-ketododecanoic acid as an intermediate in the synthetic scheme. The …

THE ROLE OF HEPATIC ACAT2 AND MTP IN HEPATIC CHOLESTERYL ESTER AND TRIGLYCERIDE METABOLISM
… 2 (ACAT2) in cholesterol balance and triglyceride metabolism.

THE IMPACT OF MICROSOMAL TRIGLYCERIDE TRANSFER PROTEIN ON INTRACELLULAR HEPATIC NEUTRAL LIPID DISTRIBUTION AND TRAFFICKING
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is a multifunctional protein necessary for conversion of apolipoprotein B into precursor lipoproteins and bulk triglyceride (TG) movement into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for precursor lipoprotein expansion. Invertebrate forms of MTP (e.g. …

IMPACT OF HEPATIC APOLIPOPROTEIN A-IV EXPRESSION ON VLDL PARTICLE EXPANSION, TRIGLYCERIDE SECRETION, AND STEATOSIS
Several apolipoproteins (apo) can impact triglyceride (TG) transport by modulating VLDL assembly and secretion. Here we explore the impact of apoA-IV on VLDL particle expansion. Previous studies demonstrated that apoA-IV expression promotes apoB lipoprotein-mediated TG secretion in transfected …

Technical and economic evaluation of triglyceride gasoline blends as an alternative fuel for diesel engines
… presents the technical and economics of using Triglyceride gasoline blends (TGBs) in a diesel engine. Canola straight vegetable oil (SVO) is highly viscous and has poor flow ability in cold weather. Consequently, it cannot be used in diesel engines without modification to the fuel system. …

Polycystic ovary syndrome : the effect of weight loss on intravenous triglyceride clearance and lipid profile
… of weight loss on markers of insulin resistance, triglyceride clearance rate and lipid profile in obese patients with PCOS.

Plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride responses of hamsters fed oat bran and pinto bean diets
… on hamster plasma total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) was investigated. Hamsters were made hypercholesterolemic (average value = 206 mg/dL) and then fed one of four experimental diets, the hypercholesterolemic control (HC), an insoluble fiber (alphacel) control (FC), the oat bran …

Molecular Dissection of Bsc2: A Novel Negative Regulator of Triglyceride Lipolysis for a Lipid Droplet Subpopulation
Eukaryotic cells store lipids in the form of triglyceride (TG) and sterol-ester (SE) in cytoplasmic organelles called lipid droplets (LDs). Distinct pools of LDs with unique surface proteomes exist in cells, but a pervasive question is how proteins localize to and convey functions to specific LD …

Acute exercise and postprandial triglyceride metabolism: mechanisms for the exercise effect and implications for endothelial function
Acute exercise has consistently been shown to reduce postprandial lipemia, an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. In a series of three studies, this thesis sought to 1. compare the Influence of acute exercise on postprandial metabolism in normal weight, overweight and obese insulin …

The effects of an exercise training program on serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels in women using oral contraceptives
… 6 weeks, would lower serum cholesterol and/or triglyceride concentration in women using oral contraceptives. The intensity of the training was maintained at approximately 75% of the subject's pre-training maximal oxygen uptake. Comparisons were made in the variables triglyceride, cholesterol, …

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. …

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 …
