Metabolism of Triglyceride in Hyperlipidemia

The effect of adropin on lipid and glucose metabolism in rats with hyperlipidemia

Objective(s):The aim of this study was to evaluate, for the first time, whether the effects of low-dose adropin administration is effective in rats with hyperlipidemia. Materials and Methods: Twenty one Wistar albino female rats were randomly divided into 3 groups and fed with high-fat diet for 4 weeks to establish the hyperlipidemia model. Meanwhile, adropin was administrated intraperitonealy...

Plasma triglyceride and LDL heterogeneity in familial combined hyperlipidemia.

Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is a genetic disorder characterized by increases in plasma cholesterol and/or triglyceride, elevated apolipoprotein B, and heterogeneous low density lipoprotein (LDL). To examine the relation between plasma triglyceride concentrations and LDL heterogeneity, 13 hypertriglyceridemic FCHL patients with a predominance of small LDL (LDL subclass phenotype B) w...

Diet and triglyceride metabolism.

Lipid metabolism and hyperlipidemia in dogs.

Lipid metabolism in dogs can be divided into exogenous and endogenous pathways and exhibits some unique characteristics compared to other species. Hyperlipidemia is common in dogs, and can be either primary or secondary to other diseases. Secondary hyperlipidemia is the most common form and can be a result of endocrine disorders, pancreatitis, cholestasis, protein-losing nephropathy, obesity, a...

Triglyceride and cholesterol metabolism in primary hypertriglyceridemia.

To determine mechanisms of elevated plasma triglycerides (TG) in patients with primary hypertriglyceridemias, simultaneous studies were carried out on kinetics of very low density lipoprotein-triglycerides (VLDL-TG) and synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids. Sixteen hypertriglyceridemic patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) and 12 patients with poorly classified, primary hyper...
