Aim. Using bioinformatic tools, to perform a pathway enrichment analysis in Alzheimer’s disease and coronary heart (CHD). Materials methods. Genes contributing susceptibility CHD were obtained from the public database DisGeNET (Database of Gene – Disease Associations). A was performed ClueGO Cytoscape plug-in (version 3.6.0) using hypergeometric distribution KEGG Reactome databases. Results. Th...

in this paper we enumerate fuzzy subgroups, up to a natural equivalence, of some finite abelian p-groups of rank two where p is any prime number. after obtaining the number of maximal chains of subgroups, we count fuzzy subgroups using inductive arguments. the number of such fuzzy subgroups forms a polynomial in p with pleasing combinatorial coefficients. by exploiting the order, we label the s...

The recognition of Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a heterogeneous disorder that results from incremental pathological changes in dynamic organismic systems is essential to move beyond the unidimensional approaches to prevention and therapy that have proven largely ineffective to date. Biological systems related to insulin metabolism are arguably the most critical regulators of longevity and corpor...

Hypertension and dyslipidemia exhibit an important clinical relationship because an increase in blood lipids yields an increase in blood pressure (BP). We analyzed the associations of seven polymorphisms of genes involved in lipid metabolism (APOA5 rs3135506, APOB rs1042031, FABP2 rs1799883, LDLR rs5925, LIPC rs1800588, LPL rs328, and MTTP rs1800591) with blood pressure and lipid values in Mexi...

BACKGROUND Several large prospective studies have demonstrated that apolipoprotein B (apoB) has greater value in predicting cardiovascular risk than any other lipid measurements. Currently, however, serum apoB levels are not routinely measured, because of the additional cost. The aim of this study was to develop an equation to estimate apoB from conventional lipid measurements including total c...

Lipid bodies store oils in the form of triacylglycerols. Oleosin, caleosin and steroleosin are unique proteins localized on the surface of lipid bodies in seed plants. This study has identified genes encoding lipid body proteins oleosin, caleosin and steroleosin in the genomes of five plants: Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, Populus trichocarpa, Selaginella moellendorffii and Physcomitrella ...

To assess whether there is a differential hypocholesterolemic response to weight loss for subjects carrying polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein B and other genes. A before and after comparison of lipid parameters following a calorie controlled diet for an intervention period of 12 weeks. A lipid clinic based in a large teaching hospital. The difference in slope coefficients relating the percent...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate whether waist circumference (WC) or body mass index (BMI) is a better predictor of blood lipid concentrations among young men and women from different ethnocultural groups. METHODS Participants were 1181 healthy men (n = 358) and women (n = 823) aged 20-29 years taken from the cross-sectional Toronto Nutrigenomics and Health Study. Analyses were cond...

OBJECTS The aim of this study is to evaluate protein oxidation, DNA damage, and lipid peroxidation in patients with gastric cancer and to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress and gastric cancer. METHODS We investigated changes in serum protein carbonyl (PC), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), and 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) levels, as indicators of protein oxidation, seru...

The group antigen of Group D streptococci is a glucose-substituted polymer of a-glycerophosphate (1, 2). In streptococcal extracts it is found in two forms, one, lipid-bound (lipoteichoic acid), the other, lipid-free (3). The two forms are often found together but in differing relative proportions depending on the source of the material and method of extraction. In phenol extracts from washed c...
