HDLC controller megacell is a high performance module for the bit oriented, switched, non-switched packet transmission module. The controller fulfills the specifications according to ITU q.921, X.25 level 2 recommendations. It supports half duplex and full duplex communication lines, point-to-point and multipoint channels. Furthermore, the controller is designed to permit synchronous, code tran...

This study investigated the role of vaspin in the occurrence and development of type 2 Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). A total of 90 patients clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were divided into Non-DR (NDR), Non-Proliferation DR (NPDR), and Proliferation DR (PDR) groups, while healthy subjects were included in a control group. Serum Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), Fasting Insuli...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To study the influence of diet, anthropometrical measurements and neonatal and parental lipoprotein variables on lipoprotein concentrations at age 4. SUBJECTS AND METHOD 18 neonates with normal serum lipoprotein values (group 1), 19 neonates with high total cholesterol (TC) levels (group 2) and 21 neonates with normal TC but altered levels in other lipids, apolipoprot...

Objetivo: Analisar e abordar as causas alterações relacionadas à hiperalfalipoproteinemia, tendo como comparação os padrões gerais da população. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma Revisão de Literatura Integrativa, na qual utilizou palavras chaves especificadas nas bases dados Pubmed Science Direct: “hyperalphalipoprotenemia” OUR “hyperalphalipoprotein” “HDLc”. Resultados: Pode-se destacar mutações e...

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), a plasma glycoprotein, mediates the transfer of neutral lipids in the blood among various lipoproteins.1,2 Because of their poor water solubility, neutral lipids such as triglycerides (TG), free cholesterol (FC), and cholesteryl esters (CE) generally are not freely circulating in plasma but instead are packaged together and transported through the body...

OBJECTIVE Exercise increases fatty acid oxidation (FAO), improves serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) and triglycerides (TG), and upregulates skeletal muscle peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR)delta expression. In parallel, PPARdelta agonist-upregulated FAO would induce fatty-acid uptake (via peripheral lipolysis), and influence HDLc and TG-rich lipoprotein particle ...

BACKGROUND Elevated serum uric acid (UA) is commonly found in subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study examined the association of UA with levels of individual MetS components and the degree of their clustering patterns in both children and adults. METHODS The study sample consisted of 2614 children aged 4-18 years and 2447 adults aged 19-54 years. MetS components included body mas...

Although a considerable proportion of serum lipids loci identified in European ancestry individuals (EA) replicate in African Americans (AA), interethnic differences in the distribution of serum lipids suggest that some genetic determinants differ by ethnicity. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of five lipid candidate genes to identify variants with ethnicity-specific effects. We sequence...

OBJECTIVES This study compared cardio-metabolic disease risk factors and their associations with serum vitamin D and omega-3 status in South Asian (SAC) and White Canadians (WC) living in Canada's capital region. METHODS Fasting blood samples were taken from 235 SAC and 279 WC aged 20 to 79 years in Ottawa, and 22 risk factors were measured. RESULTS SAC men and women had significantly highe...
