Hypolipidaemic and anti-atherosclerotic effects of lupin proteins in a rabbit model.

چکیده
The biological activities of a protein isolate from lupin (Lupinus albus) were studied in a rabbit model of atherosclerosis. Focal plaque development was induced at both common carotid arteries by perivascular injury. After surgery, animals were fed three different diets for 90 d, all with 1% cholesterol, 15% SFA and 20% protein; the protein source was casein (CAS), lupin proteins (LUP) or 50% CAS+50% LUP (CAS+LUP). Lower cholesterolaemia was detected in the LUP v. the CAS group at 60 and 90 d of treatment (-40·3 and -33·5%, respectively; P<0·05). Cryosection analyses of the carotids indicated a significant reduction in focal lesion progression in the LUP v. the CAS group (-37·4%; P<0·05). In summary, in a rabbit model of atherosclerosis, a protein isolate from L. albus reduced cholesterolaemia and exerted a remarkable protective activity against atherosclerosis progression.

A novel atheroprotective role of MF59-like adjuvant when co-administered with CETP vaccine in rabbit model of atherosclerosis
Objective(s): In this study, for the first time, MF59 adjuvant was used to develop a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) vaccine. The efficacy of the vaccine was compared with the efficacy of CETP vaccine formulated with Alum/CpG, the formulation that its immunogenicity has been already demonstrated in rabbit and mice. Materials and Methods: Tetanus toxoid- CETP peptide (TT-CETP) was mixe...
متن کاملThe Mechanisms Underlying the Hypolipidaemic Effects of Grifola frondosa in the Liver of Rats
The present study investigated the hypolipidaemic effects of Grifola frondosa and its regulation mechanism involved in lipid metabolism in liver of rats fed a high-cholesterol diet. The body weights and serum lipid levels of control rats, of hyperlipidaemic rats, and of hyperlipidaemic rats treated with oral G. frondosa were determined. mRNA expression and concentration of key lipid metabolism ...

The object of this study is to evaluate the influence of silymarins from cultivated and wild Silybum marianum L. plants with different content of flavonolignans, especially silibinin on serum lipids levels and on the experimental atherosclerosis development in rabbits fed on high cholesterol-diet (HCD). Forty eight male six-months-old white New Zealand rabbits (1.8-2 kg) were randomly assigne...
متن کاملThe effects of strip cropping and weed control methods on yields of dent maize, narrow-leafed lupin and oats
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of strip cropping and different weed control methods on the yield and yield structure of dent maize, narrow-leafed lupin and spring oat. A split-plot design with four replications was conducted in 2008-2010. The following factors were analysed in the experiment: I. Cultivation method – sole cropping and strip cropping; II. Weed control method ...
