Effect of High Fat Diets Containing No Cholesterol on the Properties of Rabbit Serum Lipoproteins and the Catabolism of Very Low Density Lipoproteins
… on normal chow, a semisynthetic diet high in safflower oil (SAFF diet), and a semisynthetic diet high in hydrogenated coconut oil (COCO diet) for 9 weeks each.

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
… 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 treatment diets nor …

Isolation and Characterization of Blood Lipoproteins From Dairy Cows Fed Control or High Grain Diets (Lactation, Feeding, Lipids)
Lipoproteins from the plasma of three non-lactating Holstein cows were isolated using either preparative ultracentrifugation or gel filtration chromatography. Lipoprotein classes obtained by ultracentrifugation were very low density plus chylomicrons, low density, high density(,1), and high …

Development of in vitro Chylomicron Assay Using Caco-2 Cells
… fats are mainly transported by the intestine in lipoproteins: chylomicrons (CMs) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDLs). Unfortunately, studies of the intestinal absorption of dietary fat have been hampered by the lack of an adequate in vitro model system. As an <em>in vitro</em> model Caco-2 …

The grapefruit flavonoid naringenin as a Hepatitis C virus therapy : efficacy, mechanism and delivery
… (SVR) - HCV RNA in patient plasma drops below detectable levels at week 24 following completion of treatment, which is thought to be indicative of curing the disease - is attainable in only ~50% of patients. In recent years, HCV production has been shown to be inextricably linked to lipid …

Impatto del profilo lipidico sulla malattia aterosclerotica in due differenti coorti di pazienti ad alto rischio cardiovascolare
… phenotypes: pure hypercholesterolemia [a very increased amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol], atherogenic dyslipidemia [combined increased amount of LDL cholesterol and tryglicerides (TG)] and pure hypertrygliceridemia (a very increased amount of TG) (2). As previously …

Impact of Physical Activity on Postprandial Lipidemia and Glycemic Control after Chronic Fructose Ingestion
… (FR+Active) (>12,500 steps/day) and a period of low physical activity (FR+Inactive) (<4500 steps/day). Prior to and following the 2 wk loading period, a fructose-rich meal challenge was administered (45% carbohydrate [25% fructose], 40% fat, and 15% protein). Blood was sampled at baseline and for …

Development and application of a novel method to determine large very low density lipoprotein (VLDL1) kinetics
High concentrations of large very low density lipoproteins (VLDL1) give rise to atherogenic dyslipidaemia, which is usually associated with insulin resistant conditions (e.g. obesity) and increases the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Isotopic tracer methods for determining VLDL1 kinetics are …

A Correlational Analysis of Anthropometric Measures and Selected Blood, Immune and Endocrine Indices in Adult Males
… profile as represented by an increase in both very low density lipoproteins (r = 0.405, p<0.0008) and a decrease in the ratio of high density cholesterol to total cholesterol (r = 0.469, p<0.0008). White blood cell count was more strongly related to fat mass (r = 0.35, p<0.005) and percentage …

Role of Lipoprotein Lipase in Lipid Metabolism: The Effects of Exercise and Diet
… plasma TG contained within chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. Lipoprotein lipase is essential for clearance of plasma TG and has been suggested to be the regulatory step in determining plasma TG concentrations. The studies presented in this thesis define changes in tissue LPL …

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 …

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, …

Effect of dietary fibre on selected haemostatic variables and C-reactive protein
… (14-167%) over the short and long-term following increased fibre intakes. PAI-1 activity decreased significantly between 15-57% over periods ranging from two to six weeks. These favourable changes in t-PA and PAI-1 occurred in healthy, hypertriglyceridaemic and metabolic syndrome subjects …

Klonierung, Expression und funktionelle Charakterisierung eines Minirezeptors aus der Domäne II des LDL Receptor Related Protein
Das LDL Receptor Related Protein (LRP) ist ein 600 kD großer multifunktioneller Rezeptor, der in der Leber stark exprimiert wird und Liganden aus dem Lipidstoffwechsel bindet. Zu Beginn dieser Arbeit war die Lage der Bindungsstellen von Liganden des Lipidstoffwechsels im LRP nur unzureichend …
