OBJECTIVE To determine effects of obesity and diet in dogs on plasma lipid and lipoprotein concentrations by assaying plasma leptin and ghrelin concentrations and determining total plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations as well as the concentrations of cholesterol and triglycerides in various lipoprotein classes (ie, very-low-density, low-density, and high-density lipoproteins). A...

Oral administration of CC14 to rats produced (a) decreased cholesterol, phospholipid, and triglyceride plasma concentrations and elevated triglyceride levels in liver, (6) several hours later, a growing increase in plasma FFA, and (c) still later, increased plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipid concentrations and continually rising liver triglyceride. The accumulation of hepatic tr...

the probability of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients increases due to hyperlipidemia. raphanus sativus is a traditional plant which is used to lower plasma lipid. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of raphanus sativus on plasma glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol in diabetic rats. for this purpose, 30 male rats were selected, maintained in standard...

1. Four groups of rats received a liquid formula diet, given alone (control), or supplemented with either ethanol or phenobarbitone, or both together. 2. The ethanol-treated group showed a fall in plasma triglyceride and a rise in liver triglyceride, as compared with the control rats. 3. The phenobarbitone-treated group showed a marked rise in plasma triglyceride but not in liver triglyceride. ...

These studies were undertaken to determine whether differences in plasma triglyceride concentrations reflected differences in the number or in the size of the triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles in the circulation. A population of 122 men and women, composed of normotriglyceridemic individuals and individuals with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia (plasma triglyceride concentration from 60 mg...

OBJECTIVE Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that plays an important role in glucose and lipid metabolism. The main aims of this study are to investigate the effects of adiponectin on VLDL triglyceride (VLDL-TG) metabolism and the underlying mechanism. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Adenoviruses were used to generate a mouse model with elevated circulating adiponectin. HepG2 and C2C12 c...

The hepatic removal of plasma chylomicrons was determined for rats fed the following diets: a) containing no triglyceride, b) regular chow diet with 4.5% of its mass as lipid and, c) a corn oil-supplemented chow with triglyceride accounting for 20% of the mass. The fractional hepatic uptake of either radiolabeled chylomicrons or a triglyceride emulsion was reciprocally related to the amount of ...
