abetalipoproteinemia/carbohydrate

A new kindred with asymptomatic hypobetalipoproteinemia is reported. The proband, age 67, differs from previously described cases in several respects: (a) unusually low levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (4-8 mg/dl); (b) normal triglyceride levels; (c) low levels of high density

BACKGROUND There is little robust empirical evidence on which to base treatment recommendations for fatty acid oxidation disorders. While consensus guidelines are important, understanding areas where there is a lack of consensus is also critical to inform priorities for future evaluative

The biological activities of endotoxin are manifold.

Our specific aim in a 10-year prospective study of 772 Cincinnati firemen (predominantly aged 26 to 46 years) was to determine the prevalence, attributes, and etiology of persistent hypobetalipoproteinemia, defined by entry low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) less than 75 mg/dL. A second

Prevention of vascular disease and acute pancreatitis is the goal of hyperlipidemia treatment. The risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) increases with increasing plasma cholesterol levels because low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the major carrier of cholesterol in the plasma, is atherogenic.

OBJECTIVE Intractable diarrhea of infancy (IDI), a group of prolonged diarrheal disorders, is difficult to diagnose and manage. We documented general features of patients and the causes of IDI. METHODS The present retrospective study included 60 hospitalized patients with IDI ages 0 to 24 months
