Unfavourable Lipid-Lipoprotein profiles in older adults has been linked to abdominal visceral fat

According to investigators from the Department of Human Services at the University of Virginia, in persons over 60 years of age, elevated levels of abdominal visceral fat are associated with unfavourable plasma concentrations of lipids and lipoproteins. Abdominal fat was also found to be a primary determinant in the release of growth hormone in these individuals. The investigators assessed// plas...

The Link Between Oxidized Phospholipids And Coronary Artery Disease

According to a recent study published for the first time, researchers have made the first causal connection between concentrations of oxidized phospholipids and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD).// As levels were also closely related to those of Lp(a) lipoprotein, the researchers suggest that that the established ability of the latter to promote atherosclerosis may be partly me...

The ideal composition of intravenous lipid emulsion

The body responds to a diverse range of insults, such as surgery, infection and injury by the activation of a wide range of cell types of the immune system, creating a number of potent cellular actions and mediators.// The inflammatory response, although essential for fighting infection, may damage the host. Its strength depends on pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, cytokines and lipid mediato...

Patients with HIV-1 can predict plasma lipids level based on race

It is a known fact that your race has a profound effect on your health status. Confirming that study is a research held at University of Massachusetts// and Pennsylvania which shows that race/ethnicity is a predictor of plasma lipids in patients with HIV-1 on HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy). The study was conducted on 626 patients participating in several ongoing AIDS Cli...

Chinese Red Yeast Rice Lowers Lipid Levels

Chinese red yeast rice (RYR) is known to contain several ingredients with medicinal properties. One of them is lovastatin, and several trials have confirmed// its possible lipid-lowering effects. This analysis was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of RYR extract in changing lipid levels in people with primary hyperlipidemia. In this study, 93 randomized con...

Lipid Plays Big Role in Embryonic Development

A little-known lipid plays a big role in helping us grow from a hollow sphere of stem cells// into human beings, researchers have found. They found that in the first few days of life, ceramide helps stem cells line up to form the primitive ectoderm from which embryonic tissues develop, says Dr. Erhard Bieberich, biochemist at the Medical College of Georgia. Probably 90 per...

New Therapy for Lipid Disorder Demonstrates Varied Results

Preliminary research suggests that use of a novel, potent drug to treat cholesterol disorders decreases triglycerides and increases// HDL-C, the 'good' cholesterol, but also raises some safety concerns, according to a study. Several different classes of drugs are used to treat lipid disorders. Fibrates reduce the liver's production of a triglyceride-carrying particle and speed up rem...

Protein That Absorbs Lipids may Provide Future Weight-loss Strategies

A study conducted by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has led to the identification of a protein that absorbs lipids in the upper part of the intestine, raising hopes that it may provide a novel approach for obesity treatment in the future. Principal investigator Dr. Nada A. Abumrad, the Dr. Robert C. Atkins Professor of Medicine and Obesity Res...
