Chylomicrons produced by the human gut contain apolipoprotein (apo) B48, whereas very-low-density lipoproteins made by the liver contain apo B100. To study how these molecules function during lipid absorption, we examined the process as it occurs in apobec-1 knockout mice (able to produce only apo B100; KO) and in wild-type mice (of which the normally functioning intestine makes apo B48, WT). U...

The combination of crambe (Crambe abyssinica L.) biodiesel and biogas could be a renewable energy alternative for internal combustion engines. Therefore, the emissions engine performance blends (B0, B10, B30, B50, B75, B100) were evaluated in both dual mode (biogas) normal (biodiesel). tests performed on 5-kVA generator at loads ranging from 1 to 4 kW. power generated was 17% lower than that mo...

AIMS Previous studies have suggested that plasma lipids are affected differently by the peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma agonists pioglitazone and rosiglitazone. The aim of this study was to perform a quantitative lipoprotein turnover study to determine the effects of PPAR-gamma agonists on lipoprotein metabolism. METHODS Twenty-four subjects with Type 2 diabetes treat...

INTRODUCTION The Westernization of the Mediterranean lifestyle has led to a modification of certain dietary habits such as a decrease in the consumption of dietary fibre-rich foods. The impact of these changes on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has been studied over the last few years and the effect of the different sources of fibre on cardiovascular risk parameters and coronary heart disease (CH...

Although curcumin can increase the effectiveness of drugs against malaria, combination therapies using the molecule have never been investigated in Chagas disease (ChD). Therefore, we evaluated the efficacy of curcumin as a complementary strategy to benznidazole (Bz)-based chemotherapy in mice acutely infected with Trypanosoma cruzi Eighty-four 12-week-old Swiss mice were equally randomized int...
