Chylomicrons were separated by low and high speed ultracentrifugation from lipemic sera of human subjects in the absorptive phase. The final chylomicron preparation was free from other serum components and contained a small constant amount of protein, approximately 2 per cent of the chylomicron fraction. Electrophoresis, immunochemical analysis, and absorption experiments identified the protein...

Background & Aims: Blood inflammatory factors have been recognized as major risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of two methods of excessive aerobic continuous and interval training on plasma lipoproteins (TC, TG, LDL, HDL, VLDL) and serum CRP in women. Methods: A total of 20 women aged 35-45 years were randomly divided into the two grou...

BACKGROUND People with renal disease develop a dyslipidemia that contributes to progression of renal injury and development of cardiovascular disease. Lipoproteins in dogs with renal disease have not been investigated. HYPOTHESIS Dogs with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have dyslipidemia characterized by increased lower density lipoproteins and decreased high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). The de...

To reveal the presence of atherogenic potential in the blood serum obtained from patients with angiographically assessed coronary atherosclerosis we used primary cultures of subendothelial cells isolated by collagenase from unaffected human aortic intima. Earlier, we have demonstrated that such cultures are made up mostly of typical and modified smooth muscle cells. Within 24 hours of cultivati...

introduction regular intake of n-3 fatty acids of marine origin have desirable effects on serum lipoproteins and reduce coronary vascular disease (cvd). n-3 fatty acid supplementation decreased serum triglyceride concentrations in studies in which most of the subjects were male. the effects of n-3 fatty acids supplementation in fat women especially postmenopausal fat women have received little ...

A previously unrecognized lipoprotein of very high density was isolated from rat serum. During zonal ultracentrifugation of whole serum or of fractions from Sepharose 4B chromatography, a peak comigrating with a peak of cholesterol was found between the typical high density lipoproteins and the residual serum proteins. Centrifugation of chylomicrons, very low density lipoproteins, and high dens...

type 2 diabetes is a well-known endocrine and metabolic disorder which has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and represents a serious public health concern. hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia are two major abnormalities which are major cardiovascular risk factors. berberine is a major alkaloid in berberis vulgaris fruit extract (bvfe) which have important role in regulation of serum glucose an...
