Liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) is an abundant cytosolic lipid-binding protein that regulates lipid transport and metabolism. Only one common non-synonymous polymorphism (A227G) leading to an amino-acid exchange in the exonic region of the L-FABP gene has been previously identified.
A prospective database including the following variables was filled out:
- Age
- Gender
- Diagnosis
- Weight
- Height
- Body Mass Index
- Histopathological results (Biopsy)
- Serum cholesterol
- Serum triglycerides
All elective patients older than 15 years of age submitted to cholecystectomy for
The postprandial state is a proinflammatory and proatherogenic condition. Increasing evidence support the contention the elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (TGRL) are atherogenic. Hypertriglyceridemia is a characteristic of the metabolic complications during human immunodeficiency
Previously a nonclinical study has provide an assessment of the safety and the local tissue effects of the Medium-Chain Triglyceride (MCT) tamponade agent manufactured by the company Arcadophta : There were no histopathologic findings or irritation events that were directly attributable to the MCT
Because of the rapid aging of the global population, dementia has become a serious problem, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. Population studies have shown that dietary fats influence risk and progression of age-related diseases including AD, diabetes and
Patients with all types of MS (Relapsing Remitting, Secondary Progressive, or Primary Progressive) are eligible to participate. Participants will undergo detailed cognitive assessment before initiating treatment and again after 90 days of treatment, to determine whether Caprylic Triglyceride
Although OCTN2 is fairly well studied in its relationship with SCD, little is known about the carrier frequency of disease-causing alleles of OCTN2, or of more common functional polymorphisms in this gene. To address these issues, we screened for genetic variants in the OCTN2 coding region by direct
BACKGROUND:
Cardiovascular disease is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in older women. Better methods of prevention via health promotion are needed. Estrogen HRT may beneficially affect women's cardiovascular health, based on evidence from observational studies, but recent trial evidence
Hypertriglyceridemia is common among HIV-infected patients receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). Although fibrates, statins, and niacin have all been used in the management of hypertriglyceridemia in HIV-infected patients, optimal control is difficult to achieve and other agents
The purpose of this study is to expand our understanding of the metabolic effects of darunavir/ritonavir (DRV/r) in HIV-infected patients. This is a phase 4, multicenter, open-label, randomized (study drug assigned by chance), comparative study designed to compare changes in lipid, glucose, and
Lipid disorders are common among patients with HIV and tend to worsen with potent antiretroviral therapy. Lipid-lowering drugs are not always effective, and few data address interactions between antiretroviral drugs and lipid-lowering agents. Additional agents for the treatment of lipid metabolism
In the proposed studies, we will address two questions:
•Do individuals who carry one of OCT1 variants with reduced or no function exhibit differences in the pharmacokinetics of metformin in comparison to individuals who carry the common allele?
Compared to wild type mice, Oct1-/- mice have reduced
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is emerging as one of the most common complications of childhood obesity. It is associated with and predicts the metabolic syndrome, independent of overall obesity. Increased ALT levels are associated with deterioration in insulin sensitivity and glucose
