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...

abetalipoproteinemia (abl) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene (mttp). abl is characterized by lack of lipids and apolipoprotein b (apob) in plasma, fat malabsorption and various clinical manifestations. we describe a 12-month-old infant boy, born from consanguineous parents and presented with diarrhea, steatorrhea...

We determined the common polymorphism of apolipoprotein E (E2, E3, and E4), apolipoprotein B Xba I polymorphism, and apolipoprotein C-III Sst I polymorphism in almost all Finnish centenarians alive in 1991 (n = 179/185). Plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in different apolipoprotein genotypes were also measured. In comparison with younger Finnish populations studied previously, the frequency o...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary curcumin on hepatic lipid metabolism and antioxidant capacity in Roman laying hens. A total 144 hens (28 weeks old) were allocated 4 treatments that included at concentrations 0, 50, 150, 250 mg/kg for 9 weeks. Each treatment had 6 replicates per group with replicate (2 birds/cage). The results showed supplementation decreased (P < ...

The aim of this study was to test the susceptibility of mice to Trypanosoma evansi treated with human plasma containing different concentrations of apolipoprotein L-1 (APOL1). For this experiment, a strain of T. evansi and human plasma (plasmas 1, 2, and 3) from 3 adult males clinically healthy were used. In vivo test used 50 mice divided in 5 groups (A to E) with 10 animals in each group. Anim...
