Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple way to monitor weight. Overweight as result of excessive body fat accumulation which characterized by decrease in HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein), namely the atherogenic side represented levels Apolipoprotein AI (ApoA-I), increased triglycerides (TG), VLDL (Very Low-Density Lipoprotein). ), LDL (Low-Density and Total Cholesterol anti-atherogenic B (Apo-B). If we...

Hijamah or cupping therapy has a therapeutic effect on cholesterol. However, there is still lack of studies that investigate the potential in managing apolipoprotein B as proatherogenic agent and A-1 an anti-proatherogenic agent. This study aims to explore lipid profiles apolipoproteins hypercholesterolemic patients. A pre-post experimental design without controls were used. Consecutive samplin...

sumac (rhus coriaria l.) is used as an herbal remedy in traditional medicine. the aim of this study was to determine the effects of sumac (rhus coriaria l.) on serum glycemic status, apolipoprotein (apo) b, apoa-i and total antioxidant capacity (tac) in type 2 diabetic patients. this double blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 41 type 2 diabetic volunteers randomly assign...

Background and Aims: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) represents an increasing cause of liver disease worldwide. Cardiovascular (CVD) is the leading morbidity mortality in these patients. Although NAFLD pathophysiology not fully understood alterations fat metabolism seem to play a role. Autoantibodies against apolipoprotein A-1 (anti-apoA-1 IgG) are novel cardiovascular risk factor whi...

Five mutants of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), apoA-I(Delta63-73), apoA-I(Delta140-150), apoA-I(63-73@140-150), apoA-I(R149V), and apoA-I(P143A) were compared with human plasma apoA-I for their ability to promote cholesterol and phospholipid efflux from HepG2 cells. A significantly lower capacity to promote cholesterol and phospholipid efflux was observed with lipid-free apoA-I(Delta63-73), while...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) on serum glycemic status, apolipoprotein (apo) B, apoA-I and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in type 2 diabetic patients.

Apolipoprotein A-I and A-IV are protein constituents of high-density lipoproteins although their functional difference in lipoprotein metabolism is still unclear. To compare anti-atherogenic properties between apoA-I and apoA-4, we characterized both proteins in lipid-free and lipid-bound state. In lipid-free state, apoA4 showed two distinct bands, around 78 and 67 Å on native gel electrophores...
