SCHONFELD, G., AND B. PFLEGER. Overproduction of very low-density lipoproteins by livers of genetically obese rats. Am. J. Physiol. 220(5) : 11784181. 197 1 .-The hyperlipidemia of the mutant “fatty” strain of Rattus norvegicus has been characterized by the analysis of serum lipids and by lipoprotein electrophoresis (LPE). In comparison with their normal weight controls (NWC) and with normal Sp...

INTRODUCTION Metabolic complications are common after kidney transplantation and can cause considerable morbidity and even threaten graft function. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and its impact on graft function in 10 years of follow-up of patients undergoing kidney transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study was conducted on 73 patients who...

As hyperlipidemia, including hypercholesterolemia (HC) and hypertriglyceridemia (HTN), continue to challenge North America's healthcare systems, patients continue to seek efficacious and safe natural therapies that complement pharmaceutical interventions. However, despite the ever-growing body of research supporting the use of functional foods and nutraceuticals (FFN) for the prevention and tre...

OBJECTIVE We have previously shown that cholesterol diet-induced hyperlipidemia (marked hypertriglyceridemia and moderate hypercholesterolemia) increases cardiac formation of peroxynitrite and results in a moderate cardiac dysfunction in rats. Here our aim was to further clarify the mechanism of hyperlipidemia-induced nitrosative stress in a transgenic mouse model and to test if high cholestero...

PURPOSE We investigated the evolution of serum lipid levels in HIV-infected pregnant women and the potential effect of antiretroviral treatment during pregnancy using data from a national surveillance study. METHOD Fasting lipid measurements collected during routine care in pregnancy were used, analyzing longitudinal changes and differences in lipid values at each trimester by protease inhibi...

Familial chylomicronemia syndrome is a rare disorder of lipoprotein metabolism due to familial lipoprotein lipase or apolipoprotein C-II deficiency or the presence of inhibitors to lipoprotein lipase. It manifests as eruptive xanthomas, acute pancreatitis, and lipaemic plasma due to marked elevation of triglyceride and chylomicrons levels. We report a rare case of familial chylomicronemia in a ...

Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) may be genetically and metabolically more heterogeneous than previously thought. A consistent feature is an increase in circulating very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) apolipoprotein (apo) B, which could be due to either an increase in apoB production or a decrease in its catabolism. Therefore, we directly measured VLDL apoB production in the postabsorpti...

purpose: to evaluate the association between hyperlipidemia with severity of diabetic retinopathy in patients with type i diabetes mellitus referred to the eye clinic at imam khomeini hospital, ahvaz, iran. methods: this observational cross-sectional study included 52 patients with type i diabetes mellitus. fasting blood samples for analysis of serum lipids and hba1c were obtained from all pati...

Objective: Investigated the hypolipidemic effect of alcoholic extract Moringa oleifera seeds using zebrafish hyperlipidemia model.
 Methods: Using 0.3% egg yolk solution to feed larval construct model. These fish in model were treated with an for 2 days. Then, tail vessels observed after oil red O staining, and accumulated optical density lipids was analyzed. The body length, triglyceride ...
