A simple and high resolution procedure of apoprotein E (apo E) phenotyping by isoelectric focusing with immobilized pH gradients and silver staining is described. This method needs delipidated very low density lipoproteins (isolated from 1 mL of serum) but obviates immunoblotting as well as
Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (Sfrp5), an anti-inflammatory adipocytokine secreted by adipocytes, plays an important role in energy metabolism. Studies have shown that Sfrp5 plays a salutary role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, but its specific mechanism needs further study. In this
Bacillus subtilis NRRL 365 produced high extracellular carboxyl esterase activity in submerged culture media containing wheat bran, corn steep liquor, and salts. Supplementation of this medium with glucose reduced esterase activity to 37% of that in the unsupplemented control. Esterase activity was
Human factor VIII was purified from heparinized blood by cryoprecipitation, poly(ethyleneglycol) precipitation, Affi-Gel blue, aminohexyl, polyelectrolyte E5 and immunoaffinity chromatography. A purification of 280,000-fold over plasma with a specific activity over 5300 units/mg was achieved.
We have investigated the morphology of the aortic wall of newborn New Zealand White (NZW) (n = 10) and newborn Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) (n = 10) rabbits. In both strains, lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides) were elevated above the concentrations expected. This was
A high-resolution two-dimensional electrophoretic method for protein, with silver staining, has been used to characterize and identify urinary high-density-lipoprotein apolipoproteins (HDL-Apos) and their isoforms in healthy subjects and in patients with kidney disease. Analytical techniques based
OBJECTIVE
To explore the relationship between multivariate factors and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
METHODS
Polymorphisms of microsatellite markers in uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) gene, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) gene and protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP-1B) gene were tested in 106 patients with
Distinct genetic variants of apolipoprotein (apo) AI have been shown to influence concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. The genetic polymorphism of apo AIV may modulate HDL-cholesterol, plasma triglycerides, and lipoprotein(a) concentrations. There is evidence for an
