Lipids back issues from May 2007:
Plasma Lipoproteins and Triacylglycerol are Predictors of Small, Dense LDL Particles
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract Recently published data suggest that the assessment of LDL subfraction profiles may contribute to the determination of the cardiovascular risk. In this study, we tested the ability of various metabolic parameters to estimate the presence or the preponderance of small, dense LDL ...
Deposition of Free Cholesterol in the Blood Vessels of Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: a Possible Novel Mechanism for Atherogenesis
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract A cholesterol-rich nanoemulsion (LDE) that mimics the composition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) acquires apoE in the plasma and is taken-up by the cells by LDL receptors. In this study, to verify whether free cholesterol (FC) and the cholesteryl ester (CE) components of LDL ...
Relationship Between Apolipoprotein Concentrations and HDL Subclasses Distribution
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract Alterations in plasma apolipoproteins levels can influence the composition, content, and distribution of plasma lipoproteins that affect the risk of atherosclerosis. This study assessed the relationship between plasma apolipoproteins levels, mainly apoAI, and HDL subclass ...
Metabolic Syndrome: Effects of n-3 PUFAs on a Model of Dyslipidemia, Insulin Resistance and Adiposity
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract Both genetic and environmental factors (e.g. nutrition, life style) contribute to the development of the plurimetabolic syndrome, which has a high prevalence in the world population. Dietary n-3 PUFAs specially those from marine oil (EPA and DHA) appear to play an important role ...
Levels of Lipid Peroxidation in Human Plasma and Erythrocytes: Comparison between Fatty Acids and Cholesterol
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract Lipid peroxidation has gained renewed attention with increasing evidence showing its biological role in producing toxic compounds and cellular signaling mediators. The assessment of lipid peroxidation levels in vivo is difficult partly because lipids are oxidized by different ...
Spin-Probe Investigations of Head Group Behavior in Aqueous Dispersions of a Nonionic Amphiphilic Compound
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract Head group behavior of nonionic amphiphilic compound, (poly(oxyethylene) hydrogenated castor oil, HCO), in aqueous dispersions were investigated by EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) in conjunction with a modern slow-tumbling simulation. The aliphatic spin probes, ...
Evaluation of Lipophilic Antioxidant Efficacy in Vivo by the Biomarkers Hydroxyoctadecadienoic Acid and Isoprostane
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract The evaluation of antioxidant activity in vivo is difficult. In this study, the effects of dietary natural and synthetic antioxidants on the lipid peroxidation in mice were assessed using a biomarker, total hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (tHODE). Biological samples such as plasma, ...
Rapid Analysis of Acylglycerols in Low Molecular Weight Milk Fat Fractions
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract A suitable analytical method was required to facilitate development of an industrial-scale short-path distillation (SPD) process. Short-path distillation produces milk fat distillates (MFD) enriched in low molecular weight milk fat components - viz. free fatty acids, ...
Validation of Two Methods for Fatty Acids Analysis in Eggs
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract A comparative study between two methods (lipid extraction followed by saponification and methylation, and direct methylation) to determine the fatty acids in egg yolk was evaluated. Direct methylation of the samples resulted in lower fatty acid content and greater variation in ...
Apolipoprotein E [epsilon]4 Genotype is Independently Associated with Increased Intima-Media Thickness in a Recessive Pattern
May 01, 2007; ... Abstract Polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein E (Apo E) gene have been associated with lipid levels, carotid intima media thickness (CCA-IMT), inflammation and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Earlier findings suggested an association of the Apo E alíeles with increased CCA-IMT following a ...
