INTRODUCTION The clinical and pathological phenotypes of Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) often overlap. We examined whether plasma lipids differed among individuals with autopsy-confirmed Lewy Body pathology or AD pathology. METHODS We identified four groups with available plasma two years prior to death: high (n=12) and intermediate likelihood DLB (n=14) based on...

BACKGROUND Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is fruit oil with rich source of monounsaturated fats and powerful antioxidants. It acts as hypolipidemic agent and significant decrease of plasma lipids level was observed with EVOO use. Atorvastatin is hypolipidemic drug commonly used for treatment of hyperlipidaemia. The purpose of this study was to determine & compare the lipid lowering effect of EVO...

During the past two decades, major progress has been made in understanding the plasma lipid transport system. Such advances have shown that the metabolic fate of plasma lipids in the form of plasma lipoproteins are subject to specific regulatory controls dictated largely by their composition, quantity, specific surface apolipoproteins, and several lipolytic enzymes. The lipid and apoprotein com...

The composition of the plasma lipoproteins is continuously modified during their intravascular metabolism, as a result of a dynamic exchange and net transfer of lipids between particles or between particles and cells. Specialized proteins, the plasma lipid transfer proteins, facilitate the transfer and exchange of phospholipids, cholesteryl esters, and triglycerides between the lipoproteins. Al...

I . The compositions of the lipids in the atheromatous lesions of rabbits have been studied in an experiment in which two groups of rabbits (twelvelgroup) were given different atherogenic diets for a period of 38 weeks. One group of rabbits was given a diet in which 35 % of the total calories was derived from butterfat and the other group was given a diet in which 48 yo of the total calories wa...

The 24 hr sterol excretion from the entire skin surface was determined in six normal and five hypercholesterolemic (Type II) patients fed a controlled, eucaloric diet containing 400 mg of plant sterols. All subjects received radiolabeled cholesterol intravenously in order to measure cholesterol turnover and exchange. The 24 hr skin surface lipids were collected subsequently at intervals of 7-10...

Among all the biomolecules that form corona of nanomaterials, lipids are somehow less studied and characterized. In present paper, we report on first investigation lipid content biomolecular formed around few layers graphene (FLG) oxide (GO) nanomaterials. Our work revealed significantly different signatures associated with each two materials biocorona in human plasma FLG GO is enriched or depl...

Context Although a recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials showed that adoption of a vegetarian diet reduces plasma lipids, the association between vegetarian diets and long-term effects on plasma lipids has not been subjected to meta-analysis. Objective The aim was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies and clinical trials that have examined as...

Most studies concerning the influence of dietary protein on serum or plasma lipids have been conducted with experimental animals. A hypocholesterolemic effect has been demonstrated for high dietary protein levels in growing swine, rats, and chicks (1-6). In the rat a hypercholesterolemic diet, containing cholesterol, or cholic acid, or both, is required to demonstrate a substantial depressant e...
