Fermented red yeast rice has been traditionally consumed as medication in Asian cuisine. This study aimed to determine the in vivo hypocholesterolemic and antioxidant effects of fermented red yeast rice water extract produced using Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development...

Recent Advances in Molecular Genetics of Cardiovascular Disorders - Implications for Atherosclerosis and Diseases of Cellular Lipid Metabolism.

Pathology oncology research : POR

Schmitz G, Aslanidis C, Lackner KJ.
PMID: 11173654
Pathol Oncol Res. 1998;4(2):153-161.

Two developments in molecular genetics will profoundly influence our understanding and the diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders. First, the identification of genes responsible for monogenic and polygenic traits by analysis of e.g. large pedigrees and affected sib pairs provides invaluable...

[Evaluation of lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in the blood serum of children with type 1 diabetes].

Endokrynologia, diabetologia i choroby przemiany materii wieku rozwojowego : organ Polskiego Towarzystwa Endokrynologow Dzieciecych

PMID: 12818127
Endokrynol Diabetol Chor Przemiany Materii Wieku Rozw. 2002;8(1):23-7.

BACKGROUND: Children and youth with type 1 diabetes have a higher risk of atherosclerosis. Therefore all of the atherosclerosis risk factors should be observed in those children early. The disorders of lipid metabolism are characteristic and their intensification depends...

Cardiovascular risk factors in young drug addicts.

Berg JE, Høstmark AT.
PMID: 12893469
Addict Biol. 1996;1(3):297-302. doi: 10.1080/1355621961000124916.

Since the type of life-style often encountered in drug addicts is purported to influence their risk of cardiovascular disease, it seemed of interest to carry out a descriptive study on risk factors in young addicts. Twenty-four young intravenous drug...

Effects of ethanol on lipids and atherosclerosis.

Pathophysiology : the official journal of the International Society for Pathophysiology

Hannuksela ML, Rämet ME, Nissinen AE, Liisanantti MK, Savolainen MJ.
PMID: 15006415
Pathophysiology. 2004 Apr;10(2):93-103. doi: 10.1016/j.pathophys.2003.10.009.

Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with an increase in plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration and a decrease in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentration. Changes in the concentration and composition of lipoproteins are estimated to account for...

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4alpha and -1 small interfering RNA inhibits hepatocyte differentiation induced by extracellular matrix.

Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology

Kimata T, Nagaki M, Tsukada Y, Ogiso T, Moriwaki H.
PMID: 16563856
Hepatol Res. 2006 May;35(1):3-9. doi: 10.1016/j.hepres.2006.01.011. Epub 2006 Mar 24.

Liver-specific genes and hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)-4alpha and -1 are coordinately regulated by extracellular matrix (ECM). However, still are unclear interactions between liver-specific genes and these liver-enriched transcription factors in the mechanism of hepatocyte differentiation regulated by ECM. To...

Relation between low serum cholesteryl-ester transfer activity and abdominal aortic calcification in normolipidemic elderly subjects.

Archives of gerontology and geriatrics

Miyashita Y, Morimoto S, Fukuo K, Masuyama T, Yasuda O, Koh E, Tamatani M, Nakahashi T, Ogihara T.
PMID: 15374350
Arch Gerontol Geriatr. 1993 Jan-Feb;16(1):9-15. doi: 10.1016/0167-4943(93)90022-a.

We studied the relation between cholesteryl-ester transfer activity (CETA) and abdominal aortic calcification in elderly subjects. Compared with 10 young healthy subjects (mean +/- S.D. age, 27 +/-2 years) and to 26 elderly subjects without abdominal aortic calcification (79...

Serum lipid profile constituents as markers of cardiovascular morbidity in patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Biomarker insights

Kirmizis D, Koutoupa E, Tsiandoulas A, Valtopoulou A, Niavis G, Markou P, Barboutis K.
PMID: 19690648
Biomark Insights. 2007 Feb 07;1:185-92.

We designed the present case-control study in order to examine the validity of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, B, apoB/apoA-I ratio and Lp(a) as alternative markers of cardiovascular morbidity in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD). Twenty-five HD...

Recent progress in understanding protein and lipid factors affecting hepatic VLDL assembly and secretion.

Nutrition & metabolism

Sundaram M, Yao Z.
PMID: 20423497
Nutr Metab (Lond). 2010 Apr 27;7:35. doi: 10.1186/1743-7075-7-35.

Excess lipid induced metabolic disorders are one of the major existing challenges for the society. Among many different causes of lipid disorders, overproduction and compromised catabolism of triacylglycerol-rich very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) have become increasingly prevalent leading to...

Hepatitis C as a metabolic disease: Implication for the pathogenesis of NASH.

Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology
