The causes of the "endothelial dysfunction" accompanying preeclampsia are unknown. Women with preeclampsia have a marked hyperlipidemia which reflects altered lipid metabolism. We asked if the hyperlipidemic sera of preeclamptic women could cause altered endothelial cell properties. Cultured
Three groups of male Japanese rabbits weighing about 2.7 kg each were given experimental diets consisting of high cholesterol food and fluid skim milk, yogurt, or water, and were bled every 4 wk to measure serum lipids. After 12 wk they were killed and concentrations of total cholesterol and
The antihypercholesterolemic and antiatherogenic effect of the mucilage galactomannan isolated from fenugreek seeds was studied in experimental rabbits maintained on a high cholesterol diet for 3 months. Changes in the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in serum and tissues and aortic fatty
Fourteen dogs, fed a regular diet and given 250 mg/kg of triton (a non-ionic surface-active agent) intravenously every 4th day, exhibited a progressively severe hyperlipemia. Serum triglycerides were the first to increase. Cholesterol, mostly in the free form, and phospholipids showed elevation only
Several recent postmortem studies suggest an increased prevalence of atherosclerosis in young habitual cocaine abusers. However, little is known about the effects of cocaine abuse on the vascular endothelium and its relationship to atherosclerosis. Therefore, the consequence of chronic
BACKGROUND
Nasu Hakola disease (NHD) is a progressive dementia that presents accompanied by bone cysts and, at random, epilepsy. It is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease and its genetic defect is located at the 19q13.1 chromosome. The genetic mutation was identified at DAP 12. It appears that
To evaluate the effects of dietary fish oil on cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis, 36 New Zealand rabbits in four groups were fed a 0.3% cholesterol diet for 10 weeks. One group served as control, whereas groups I, II and III received 1, 2 and 3 ml/day, respectively, of fish oil (Protochol,
The inherited pediatric leukodystrophy Canavan disease is characterized by dysmyelination and severe spongiform degeneration, and is currently refractory to treatment. A definitive understanding of core disease mechanisms is lacking, but pathology is believed to result at least in part compromised
A severe hyperlipemia in mink, with a pattern that suggested recessive inheritance, was observed at a farm in Norway. On a normal mink diet, affected animals had grossly elevated levels of plasma triglycerides which decreased towards normal on a low-fat diet. Normal minks had the main part of their
To investigate the effect of diltiazem on the development of atherosclerosis, 15 pigs were fed a fat-poor basal diet to which 8% (w/w) lard fat and 2% (w/w) cholesterol were added for 8 months. To enhance the formation of atherosclerotic plaques endothelium of the aorta and the left anterior
Epidemiologic evidence supports an association between high mammographic density and increased breast cancer risk yet etiologic mechanisms remain largely unknown. Mixed evidence exists as to whether circulating lipid levels influence mammographic density and breast cancer risk. A study has been made of the morphological and histochemical changes of the ovary of the field rat, Millardia meltada during its oestrous cycle and pregnancy. The follicular growth and atresia, ovulation and formation of corpora lutea occur throughout the year except severe winter months (December
We have developed a new model to study the interaction between diet and genetics in atherogenesis, the cholesterol-fed heterozygous WHHL rabbit. To determine the effects of calcium blockers on atherosclerosis in this model, two groups of heterozygous WHHL rabbits were fed 0.25% cholesterol and 2%
There is few information about the possible health effects of a food combination based on a pre-hispanic Mexican diet (PMD). This diet rich in fiber, polyphenols, a healthy ratio of omega 6/omega 3 fatty acids, and vegetable protein could improve carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, gut microbiota and
Long-term effects of Cholestin (Monascus purpureus rice; red yeast rice) on serum lipids and severity of atherosclerosis were examined in rabbits fed for 200 days on a semi-purified diet containing 0.25% cholesterol. Serum total cholesterol was 25 and 40% lower, respectively, in rabbits fed 0.4 or
