objectives in this study the association of phenotypes and activity of butyrylcholinesterase (buche) with serum level of lipid-lipoprotein and apolipoproteins during various phases of menstrual-cycle was determined. methods the study population consisted of 22 healthy women aged 19–25 years with regular menstrual cycles, 26–30 days in length. the serum levels of lipids, apolipoproteins, and buc...

Teucrium polium is an analgesic, antidiabetic and antilipeidemic herbal medicament. The aim of this survey was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract T. polium on liver enzymes linked to liver dysfunction, serum lipids and glucose, in diabetic male rats. Methods: A total of 20 Sprague-Dawly male rats became diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). the animals were ...

The current study was performed to investigate the intracellular fate of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are responsible for the delivery of lipids to various tissues, however, their intracellular pathway has not yet been elucidated. Here radiolabeled triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, associated with lipoprotein lipase, were used for the quantitative evaluation of t...

In a study with 52 healthy volunteers, the effect of different amounts of co3 fatty acids on the blood lipid composition was investigated. Doses of 1.4, 2.3, 4. 1, and 8.2 g of w3 fatty acids were administered to these subjects daily over a period of 4 wk. Total cholesterol, highdensity hipoprotein cholesterol, total triglycerides, and glucose were determined in blood serum and hemoglobin in wh...

A 3 × 2 factorial arrangements with completely randomized design, with a total of 72 Leghorn Hy-line (W-36) laying hens in the second cycle (98 wk old) of production were randomly assigned to 24 wire cages (45.7×30×30 cm3) and fed with diets containing three levels of guar meal (GM; 0, 4 and 8%) and two levels of β-mannanase (Hemicell®) enzyme (0.00 and 0.05%) for 12 wk period. There...

Cardiovascular diseases are becoming an increasing problem worldwide. Hypercholesterolemia has been implicated in causation of coronary heart disease. Oxidation of low density lipoprotein has been shown to be prevented by standardized Ginkgo biloba extract, EGb 761. Studies on the effect of Ginkgo biloba on serum lipid levels are lacking. Hence the present study was carried out to study the eff...

It has been generally accepted that high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level decreases with menopause in women. However, recent reports show different results. There is very little data concerning perimenopausal women. To verify these findings, lipids and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels were compared among pre-, peri- and postmenopausal women of similar mean ages. Postmenopausal women h...
