In addition to low-density lipoproteins, plasma chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) contribute to atherogenesis. When triglyceride-rich particles bind to arterial endothelium and to deendothelialized areas, locally present lipoprotein lipase initiates triglyceride hydrolysis and decreases the size of the adhering particles. Additional changes in composition are brought about b...

To investigate the memory-enhancing effect of lactic acid bacteria, we selected the probiotic mixture KF, which consisted of Lactobacillus plantarum KY1032 and Lactobacillus curvatus HY7601 (1 × 10(11) CFU/g of each strain), and investigated its antilipidemic and memoryenhancing effects in aged Fischer 344 rats. KF (1 × 10(10) CFU/rat/day), which was administered orally once a day (6 days per w...

AIM To investigate the acute effects of the simultaneous ingestion of fructose and fat on postprandial lipoprotein metabolism in healthy young women. METHODS Nine young healthy Japanese women with a normal weight (body mass index: 18.5≤-< 25 kg/m(2)), a normal ovarian cycle and an apolipoprotein E 3/3 phenotype were enrolled as participants and studied on four occasions. At each session, the ...

Obesity is directly associate to cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hypertension producing severe complication of health economic costs in a global scale. This study aims validate the anti-obesity potential peel Opuntia joconostle hydroethanolic extract (XOCO) on obesity high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese C57BL/6 mice. Therefore, phenolic compounds flavonoids profiles were investigate...

Tamoxifen is used as hormonal therapy in the treatment of breast cancer patients. Tamoxifen tablet is a well tolerated and generally devoid of any life threatening adverse drug reaction. Pancreatitis is a rare but life threatening adverse drug reaction of tamoxifen. Rare side effects of drugs are usually missed.

Liquid chicken oil is similar to the human lipid ratio, and ideal fatty acids ratio suggested by Hayes, but its benefits remain unclear (Hwang, K.N.; Tung, H.P.; Shaw, H.M. J. Oleo. Sci. 69, 199-206 (2020)). Using soybean as a control, liquid oil, coconut lard olive were tested on SD rats with rodent diet 5001 plus 1% of high cholesterol addition moderate 10 % test oils. Positive results showed...
