the affinity of low density lipoprotein (ldl) to its receptor is very important, because most of ldl-uptake pathway is done by the ldl receptor and the change in size of ldl particle and the modification in its components may affects the ldl affinity for its receptor. in this study, the effects of lipophilic agents such as vitamin e and seven volatile oils: anethol, eugenol, geraniol, limonene,...

familial hypercholesterolemia (fh) is an inherited common autosomal mendelian disorder of lipoprotein metabolism with a population prevalence of 1 in 500. fh is characterized by severely elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ldl-c), which result in surplus deposition of cholesterol in tissues. this condition leads to premature at hero sclerosis and early-onset of coronary hear...

The affinity of low density lipoprotein(LDL) to its receptor is very important, because most of LDL-uptake pathway is done by the LDL receptor and the change in size of LDL particle and the modification in its components may affect the LDL affinity for its receptor. In this study, the effects of a powerful lipid-soluble antioxidant “ubiquinol-10” have been investigated on the affinity of LDL to...

background: nephrotic syndrome is a disorder that leads to hyperlipidemia. l-carnitine and genistein can effect on lipid metabolism and the syndrome. in the present study, we have delved into the separate and the twin-effects of l-carnitine and genistein on the gene expressions of hmg-coa reductase and ldl receptor in experimental nephrotic syndrome. methods: in this controlled experimental stu...

background: there is evidence that cd36 promotes foam cell formation through internalizing oxidized ldl (ox-ldl) into macrophages therefore, it plays a key role in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. in addition, cd36 expression seems to be mediated by nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (ppar-γ). the aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effect of ...
