The Relationship between Meat Consumption and the Biological Determinants of Cardiovascular Disease Risk
… by self-assessment were in good health. The following analyses were done: glucose (Glu), glycohemoglobin (HBA1), total serum cholesterol (chole), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDD, low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), platelet factor four (PF4), and …

Treatment of Hypertriglyceridemia with Omega-3 Fatty Acids: A Systematic Review
… (TG) was 29%, total cholesterol (TC) 11.6%, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) 30.2%, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) 32.5%. One study found LDLs to increase by 25%. The average increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was 10%. The overall average MQI score was 36% (26%-54%). Many of the …

Novel Roles of GLP-1 and GLP-2 in the Regulation of Hepatic Lipid/Lipoprotein Homeostasis and the Involvement of BAT Activation
… profile, primarily due to increases in hepatic very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) production. Recent studies have implicated neuronal signalling in the control of hepatic lipid metabolism and VLDL production. The gut derived hormones glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and GLP-2 have been shown to …

Identification of Host Factors Required for Hepatitis C Virus Infection
… therapeutic strategies. However, the intrinsic low fidelity of HCV replication makes it more difficult to develop drugs targeting viral proteins since HCV could quickly generate drug-resistant strains. In this context, drugs targeting host factors that control HCV infection may be more effective …

The effects of fish oil versus corn oil on subjects with hyperlipidemia and type II, noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus
… oil versus corn oil were compared. Significantly lowered plasma very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)-cholesterol (p<0.007), plasma triglycerides (TG) (p<0.015), and plasma VLDL-TG (p<0.02) were found in subjects consuming fish oil supplements than in those consuming corn oil. In addition, total …

INVESTIGATION OF THE CARDIOPROTECTIVE AND HYPOTRIGLYCERIDEMIC POTENTIAL OF ECHIUM OIL AS A BOTANICAL SOURCE OF LONG CHAIN N-3 FATTY ACIDS
… and has been shown to significantly lower plasma TGs in human hypertriglyceridemic subjects and, therefore, may serve as a botanical alternative to FO. This dissertation describes the effect of EO on the development of atherosclerosis and the mechanisms mediating its …

Differential Expression Of Proteins Involved In VLDL Trafficking Causes Reduced VLDL Secretion In Male Ames Dwarf Mice
… linked to elevated secretion of liver-specific lipoproteins called very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL). VLDLs are crucial lipoproteins responsible for transportation of triacylglycerides (TAGs), chemically inert particles that are physiologically significant for their energy storing capacity, …

The New Role of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9: A Connection of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9, Apolipoprotein B, and Autophagy
<p>Plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels are positively correlated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. In the circulation, the plasma LDL clearance is mainly achieved by the uptake via LDL receptor (LDLR). Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (<em>PCSK9</em>) is a newly …

Metabolite Profiling: Correlates and Associations with Incident Cardiovascular Outcomes
… opened opportunities for the large-scale discovery of novel biomarkers and improvement of the understanding of disease aetiology. This thesis aimed to investigate the associations of common CVD related factors (CVRFs) with metabolite profiling and the associations of metabolite profiling with …

The Golgi Complex of the Hepatocyte: Isolation and Partial Enzomological Characterization
… which have been identified by others as very low density lipoprotein. The vast majority of such particles in the cell are in the elements of the Golgi complex. Moreover, the number in the complex can be increased still further by acute ethanol intoxication. This light lipoprotein content …

Genetic polymorphism of the human apolipoproteins A and E
… used to demonstrate the polymorphism of the apolipoproteins E, A-I, A-II and A-IV. Polymorphic forms of apo E were detected after ultracentrifugation of plasma, delipidation of VLDL and isoelectric focusing of the remaining protein. The six common phenotypes, homozygotes E 2/2, E 3/3, E 4/4 and …
