Lipids (II)

Lysosomes from rabbit type II cells catabolize surfactant lipids.

The role of a lysosome fraction from rabbit type II cells in surfactant dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) catabolism was investigated in vivo using radiolabeled DPPC and dihexadecylphosphatidylcholine (1, 2-dihexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine; DEPC), a phospholipase A(1)- and A(2)-resistant analog of DPPC. Freshly isolated type II cells were gently disrupted by shearing, and lysosomes w...

the effect of vitamin c supplementation on serum lipids in type ii diabetics

introduction: the pathogenesis of diabetic disorders are unknown and may be multifactorial. one of the most important mechanisms of complications is glycosilation of proteins such as haemoglobin. structurally, vitamin c is similar to glucose and can act as glucose in many chemical reactions, therefore it may prevent non- enzymatic glycosilation of proteins such as haemoglobin and lipoproteins. ...

No Association between Serum Lipids Levels and Lipids Oxidizability in Type 2 Diabetes

Objective: Diabetes is the most common metabolic disease. One of the most common problems in diabetic patients is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease which induced by hyperlipidemia. Also there has been currently great interest in the potential contribution of oxidative stress in development of diabetes complications. The present study was performed to associate between lipid oxidizability a...
