The arterial influx of esterified and free cholesterol from low density lipoproteins and very low density lipoproteins in 20 hypercholesterolemic rabbits was measured simultaneously by the use of lipoproteins labeled in vivo with [3H]- and [14C]-cholesterol. The simultaneous arterial influx of either [3H]-leucine-labeled very low density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins, high density lipo...

An external transverse-alternating magnetic field with sinusoidal and triangular alternating currents was applied to a combined plasma arc to create a plasma arc for expanding the cross section of arc column and flatting the distributions of arc temperature. Two mathematical models were developed to describe the heat flux density distributions of the combined plasma arc driven by a transverse-a...

background: plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) and freeze‑dried bone allograft (fdba) are shown to promote bone healing. this study was aimed to histologically and histomorphometrically investigate the effect of combined use of prgf and fdba on bone formation, and compare it to fdba alone and control group. materials and methods: the distal roots of the lower premolars were extracted bilatera...

The enzyme lecithin:cholesterol acyl transferase has been measured both in total plasma and in the fraction of plasma from which very low and low density lipoproteins have been removed by ultracentrifugation. The correlation between the activity of the enzyme and the free cholesterol concentration was positive in whole plasma and negative in apoB-deficient plasma. On the other hand, the positiv...
