ascites/triglyceride

The growth of Ehrlich ascites tumors (EAT) in mice induces hypertriglyceridemia and depletion of lipid stores. H-Riop: Swiss mice in early and late stages of tumor growth were examined to investigate whether an increase in liver synthesis of fatty acids (FA) and/or an increase in the liver

Using a recently developed technique of direct tracer injection into selective adipose tissue sites (Baker et al., Mech. Ageing Dev., 27: 295-313, 1984), we have studied the esterification of free fatty acids (FFA) to triglyceride fatty acids in the epididymal fat pads of normal and Ehrlich ascites

A patient with nephrotic syndrome and morbus Kimura (eosinophilic granuloma) showed chylous ascites. Ascites chylomicrons were analyzed and used to study the substrate specificity of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic triglyceride lipase. Ascites triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations were 191 and

Our earlier work with Swiss-Webster mice has shown that most of the lipid in Ehrlich ascites tumor extracellular fluid is in the form of free fatty acids. This finding is in direct contradiction to earlier and subsequent reports from another laboratory that has found free fatty acids to be a very

Much of the lipid present in the ascites plasma in which Ehrlich cells grow is contained in very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). Chemical measurements indicated that triglycerides were taken up by the cells during in vitro incubation with ascites VLDL. When tracer amounts of radioactive triolein

To determine if an elevated triglyceride concentration can explain the opacity of some cirrhotic ascites specimens, the authors measured triglyceride concentration by Coulter DACOS (Hialeah, FL) on 133 paired serum and ascitic fluid specimens. The specimens were categorized as clear or cloudy by

Lymphangiomyomyoma is a tumor of lymphatic channels and lymph nodes, clinically manifested by recurrent chylous pleural effusions and ascites. The disease is usually progressive and unresponsive to surgery, chemotherapy, or irradiation. A case of lymphangiomyomatosis in a 24-year-old woman who

Rats transplanted with the ascites hepatoma Yoshida AH-130 developed a severely progressive cachexia, characterised by marked alterations in protein and lipid metabolism. In particular, high levels of serum triglycerides and free fatty acids were associated with altered levels and distribution of

The contents of apolipoproteins of plasma and ascites fluid of mice with Sarcoma 180 were measured. The apolipoprotein A-I contents of plasma decreased with development of the tumor. The apolipoprotein C-II and C-III contents of plasma reached a maximum on day 7 after tumor inoculation and then

OBJECTIVE Lipoprotein electrophoresis is the gold standard for the detection of chylous ascites and pleural effusions. It is, however, not suitable as a front-line test and not widely available. Most clinicians must rely solely on the quantitative determination of lipids. The aim of this work was to
