The effect of deteriorating glycaemic control on the lipoprotein responses to the ingestion of a high fat meal was investigated in seven normolipidaemic Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients and the results were compared with corresponding responses in seven normolipidaemic control subjects.

The effect of total parenteral nutrition with combinations of long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) and triacetin, the water-soluble triglyceride of acetate, on structural components of the gastrointestinal tract and protein metabolism was assessed in burned (30% body surface area) rats. Rats received

BACKGROUND The efficacy of different fat emulsions as components of a total parenteral nutrition (TPN) regimen on the integrity of the gut was assessed in traumatized rats. With the release of the short-chain fatty acids butyric or propionic acid during the hydrolysis of a structured triglyceride

The aim of this work was to purify, identify, and characterize the component of goat bulbourethral gland secretion (BUS) responsible for goat sperm deterioration in skim milk extender. BUS extracts promote a decrease in the percentage of motile spermatozoa, deterioration in the quality of movement,

The levels of plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and plasma triglyceride were determined in 44 patients with motor neuron disease (MND) and in 36 patients with spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD). In both groups the HDL cholesterol levels were significantly lower than those in healthy

BACKGROUND There are only a few reports concerning long-term exocrine function after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), although the number of long-term survivors has increased. We assessed pancreatic exocrine function after PD in 189 patients to identify risk factors for pancreatic exocrine

This study aimed to evaluate various metabolic parameters in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), to investigate the association between those indices and disease severity, and to explore the underlying molecular pathogenesis. We compared the degree of obesity, metabolic

Elevated plasma triglycerides (TGs) are early key features of conditions associated with a dysregulation in glucose metabolism and may predict the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) over time. Although the acute ingestion of lipid, either mixed with or shortly before the meal, is neutral or

Obesity may promote intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) by non-mechanical means, by influencing levels of free fatty acids which could impair cell metabolism. This study aims to establish metabolic factors in obesity-related IDD independent of mechanical loading. In clinical study, we

In the present work, virgin olive oil, sunflower oil and a vegetable shortening were used as cooking oils for the deep-frying and pan-frying of potatoes, for eight successive sessions, under the usual domestic practice. Several chemical and physicochemical parameters (acidic value, peroxide value,

In an attempt to develop new herbal therapy, an aqueous extract of the seed of Moringa oleifera was used to screen the effect on arsenic-induced hepatic toxicity in female rat of Wistar strain. Subchronic exposure to sodium arsenite (0.4 ppm/100 g body weight/day via drinking water for a period of

The effects of different types of diet and resecting 50% of the distal small intestine on the digestive and metabolic utilization of protein were studied in resected rats and sham-operated controls. Nutritional parameters were analyzed at 1 and 3 months postsurgery. Intestinal resection led to a

The associations of inflammatory markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and fibrinogen) with anthropometric and metabolic variables were examined in a sample of 112 postmenopausal women not receiving hormone therapy. Body fat
