xanthomatosis/carbohydrate

Report on two patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia. In both patients normal serum lipid values were reached in a comparatively short time under a diet with reduced carbohydrates and calories. In one diabetic patient who needed insulin at the beginning of the treatment the disease could be

A 51-year-old male patient with histologically confirmed eruptive xanthomatosis is presented. Routine and special laboratory examinations showed complex disturbances of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, the latter taking the form of classic hyperlipoproteinaemia type IV. Combined oral antilipaemic

Forty-six patients with xanthomatosis and elevated very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) levels (in different types of hyperlipoproteinaemia) were classified on the basis of the WHO criteria and the cholesterol/triglyceride ratio in VLDL. A large majority (31/46) of the patients referred to the

Forty-two meningiomas of different morphological sub-type were examined to determine their pattern of binding to 11 different lectins which characterize cell surface components such as carbohydrate residues. Histiocytic and xanthoma cells within meningiomas could be demonstrated with six different

Lipid islets (xanthomas, xanthelasmas) occur rather frequently in gastric mucosa; such islets have been described in the esophagus just recently. We have observed such a patient. As has been the case in the first patient described, the islets were located in the middle part of the esophagus and

Long-term effects of diet and colestipol (a bile acid sequestrant) were studied in 25 patients with familial type II hyperlipoproteinemia. Serum lipids and body weights of an initial group of 30 patients were stabilized by low cholesterol-saturated fat-refined carbohydrate diet and the patients were

The enzymes of biosynthesis are usually bound to membranes and require an undisturbed lipid environment for regulated activity. In familial hypercholesterolemia, this lipid environment is disturbed and there is a low cholesterol ester level in the cellular membranes that results from impaired

It is now clear that the various hyperlipidemias represent a heterogenous group of disorders, each having various clinical and laboratory characteristics, prognosis and treatment. The three disorders commonly associated with premature atherosclerotic vascular disease are Type II

The first concern in primary prevention is the physician's belief that primary prevention is important for all adults and that intervention can significantly affect risk. Given the coronary plaque burden over many years and the importance of the development of healthy lifestyles early in adulthood

Twelve male M. fascicularis monkeys were divided into two groups of 6 animals each. One group (BASAL) was fed a diet containing 24% protein, 38% carbohydrate and 20% fat, while the other group (ATHER) received an identical diet with the addition of 4.08 g/kg diet cholesterol. The animals were

We investigated the metabolic effects of omega-6 (safflower oil) and omega-3 (fish oil) fatty acid-enriched diets (65% carbohydrate, 20% fat) in two patients with a syndrome of diabetes mellitus, lipodystrophy, acanthosis nigricans, chylomicronemia, and abdominal pain. 3H-glycerol was used to

Many endocrine diseases are accompanied by skin damage. It is induced by initial hormonal and metabolic disorders, manifestates at the early stage of the disease and represents very important diagnostic sign. Clinical peculiarities of diabetes mellitus dermal manifestations in children are presented
