BACKGROUND VLDL and chylomicrons may interfere with measurements of apolipoprotein B (apo B) on LDL particles. Ultracentrifugation of samples enriched in chylomicrons and VLDL and subsequent measurement of apo B in the infranate fraction [density (d) = 1.006] removes this interference. This apo B fraction is called "LDL-apo B." METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 64 895 measurements of trigly...

Apo A-IMilano is a mutant form of apo A-I in which cysteine is substituted for arginine at amino acid 173. Subjects with apo A-IMilano are characterized by having low levels of plasma HDL cholesterol and apo A-I. To determine the kinetic etiology of the decreased plasma levels of the apo A-I in these individuals, normal and mutant apo A-I were isolated, radiolabeled with either 125I or 131I, an...

Bu çalışma, %4 kadife çiçeği (Tagetes erecta), 0 ve 100 mg/kg sentetik apo-ester içeren diyetlerle 60 gün beslenen sarı prenses balığının (Labidochromis caeruleus) deri rengi yetiştiricilik parametreleri üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deri rengi, kolorimetrik yöntemle bir yansıtma spektroskopisi kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Kadife apo-esterin balıkların renk (L*,a*...

For the impulsive ankle push-off (APO) observed in human walking two muscle-tendon-units (MTUs) spanning joint play an important role: Gastrocnemius (GAS) and Soleus (SOL). GAS SOL load Achilles tendon to store elastic energy during stance followed by a rapid release APO. We use neuromuscular simulation (NMS) bipedal robot investigate role of on optimize for robust gait then sequentially replac...

Previous results have demonstrated that liver membranes possess two distinct lipoprotein receptors: a low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor that binds lipoproteins containing either apolipoprotein (apo-) B or apo-E, and an apo-E-specific receptor that binds apo-E-containing lipoproteins, but not the apo-B-containing LDL. This study reports the isolation and purification of apo-B,E(LDL) and apo...

The influence of different fibrates on apolipoprotein metabolism was investigated. Administration of fenofibrate provoked a dose-dependent decrease in plasma cholesterol concentration that was already evident after 1 day. Intestinal apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and apo A-IV mRNA levels remained fairly constant. In contrast, liver apo A-I, apo A-II, and apo A-IV mRNA levels decreased in a dose-depen...
