Marked hypercholesterolemia and moderate lipid infiltration of the aorta were induced by feeding rabbits a diet containing 1% cholesterol + 3% corn oil for 70 days. In the liver the concentration and pool size of cholesterol increased and those of triglycerides (TG) decreased. On dietary addition of

Since alterations of tryptophan metabolism have been reported in diabetes and atherosclerosis, it was thought of interest to investigate any role of cloricromene through the influence on the oxidative metabolism of the amino acid by using diabetic/hyperlipidemic rabbits. Male 4-month-old New Zealand

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) binds to DNA single and double strand breaks and uses NAD in the synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) (pADPr). Niacin deficiency in rats decreases bone marrow NAD(+) and limits pADPr synthesis in response to DNA damage, while pharmacological supplementation with nicotinic

Oral administration of l g of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid (HMG) before the ingestion of whiskey and a fatty meal markedly reduced the elevation of serum triglycerides, beta-lipoproteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol in man. In rats receiving an ethanol and corn oil mixture, HMG also inhibited

Lipid profile screening is crucial for the prevention, evaluation and treatment of cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). Small dense low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (sdLDL-C) is an emerging biomarker associated with CVD and several comorbidities. The aim of this literature review is to discuss the

A hybrid of sweet corn, Zea mays L. (;1720'; Rogers Brothers Seed Co.), was found to be comprised of glycinebetaine-positive and glycinebetaine-deficient individuals in a 1:1 mixture. This phenomenon was traced to segregation for a single, nuclear, dominant gene determining leaf glycinebetaine
