The effect of aerobic training and consumption of L-carnitine supplements on HMG-CoA reductase and LDL receptor in the liver of male wistar rats toxicated by boldenone
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training and consumption of L-carnitine supplements on HMG-CoA reductase and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) in the liver of male Wistar rats toxicated by boldenone. Materials and methods: In this clinical study, 30 male Wistar rats aged 12 weeks (weight 195±7.94g) were randomly divided into five groups: cont...
متن کاملHypolipidemic effects of total flavonoide extracted from the leaves of Actinidia kolomikta in rats fed a high-fat diet
Objective(s): This study was to investigate the antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant effect of total flavonoid extract from Actinidia kolomikta (TFAK) in hyperlipidemia induced by a high-fat diet. Materials and Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal group, model (hyperlipidemic diet) group, hyperlipedemic diet supplemented with TFAK (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) and simvastat...
متن کاملFeedback regulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase in livers of mice treated with mevinolin, a competitive inhibitor of the reductase.
Compactin (ML-236B) and the related compound, mevinolin, are competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG CoA reductase), the rate-controlling enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. Previous studies have shown that administration of compactin to cultured cells elicits a compensatory increase in the amount of HMG CoA reductase in the cells. A similar increase in HMG C...
متن کامل7-Dehydrocholesterol-dependent proteolysis of HMG-CoA reductase suppresses sterol biosynthesis in a mouse model of Smith-Lemli-Opitz/RSH syndrome.
Smith-Lemli-Opitz/RSH syndrome (SLOS), a relatively common birth-defect mental-retardation syndrome, is caused by mutations in DHCR7, whose product catalyzes an obligate step in cholesterol biosynthesis, the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol. A null mutation in the murine Dhcr7 causes an identical biochemical defect to that seen in SLOS, including markedly reduced tissue cholest...
متن کاملStroke protection by 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase inhibitors mediated by endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
The treatment of ischemic strokes is limited to prophylactic agents that block the coagulation cascade. Here, we show that cholesterol-lowering agents, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase inhibitors, protect against cerebral injury by a previously unidentified mechanism involving the selective up-regulation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS). Prophylactic treatment with HMG-CoA reduct...
متن کاملReversion of transformed phenotype of human adenocarcinoma A549 cells by expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase complementary DNA.
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) plays a rate-limiting role in isoprenoid biosynthesis and is associated with cell proliferation and transformation. Although an elevated level of HMG-CoA reductase activity is consistently detected in cancer cell lines and tumors, the question remains whether HMG-CoA reductase activity may have a causative role in cell transformation....
