Results of genome-wide linkage analyses to identify chromosomal regions that influence interindividual variation in plasma lipid and apolipoprotein levels in the Rochester, Minn, population are reported. Analyses were conducted for total cholesterol (total-C), triglycerides (TGs), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-II, apolipoprotein B, apolipopro...

diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder, causes many complications such as micro- and macro-vascular diseases. anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic and anti-oxidative properties of ginger have been noticed in several researches. the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of ginger on fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin a1c, apolipoprotein b, apolipoprotein a-i, and malondial...

A specific, sensitive and accurate, non competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed for the quantitation of human apolipoprotein C-II. Using apolipoprotein C-II and apolipoprotein C-III immunosorbent columns, monospecific anti-apolipoprotein C-II antibodies were prepared for coating and for the preparation of a peroxidase-antibody conjugate. The assay is sensitive down to 0.25 n...

Background: 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. Case presentation: We report a rare case of...

background: apolipoprotein a2 (apoa2) is the second major apolipoprotein of the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c). the study aim was to identify apoa2 gene variation in individuals within two extreme tails of hdl-c levels and its relationship with hdl-c level. methods: this cross-sectional survey was conducted on participants from tehran glucose and lipid study (tlgs) at research ins...
