Trait Locus

To determine the genetic contribution to variation among lipoprotein cholesterol levels, we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses on an intercross between mouse strains RIIIS/J and 129S1/SvImJ. Male mice of the parental strains and the reciprocal F1 and F2 populations were fed a high-cholesterol, cholic acid-containing diet for 8–12 wk. At the end of the feeding period, plasma total, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and non-HDL cholesterol were determined. For HDL cholesterol, we identified three significant QTLs on chromosomes (Chrs) 1 ( D1Mit507, 88 cM, 72–105 cM, 4.8 LOD), 9 ( D11Mit149, 14 cM, 10–25 cM, 9.4 LOD), and 12 ( D12Mit60, 20 cM, 0–50 cM, 5.0 LOD). These QTLs were considered identical to QTLs previously named Hdlq5, Hdlq17, and Hdlq18, respectively, in crosses sharing strain 129. For total cholesterol, we identified two significant QTLs on Chrs 1 and 9, which were named Chol10 ( D1Mit507, 88 cM, 10–105 cM, 3.9 LOD) and Chol11 ( D11Mit149, 14 cM, 0–30 cM, 4.4 LOD), respectively. In addition, for total cholesterol, we identified two suggestive QTLs on Chrs 12 (distal) and 17, which remain unnamed. For non-HDL cholesterol, we identified and named one new QTL on Chr 17, Nhdlq3 ( D17Mit221, 58 cM, 45–60 cM, 3.4 LOD). Nhdlq3 colocalized with orthologous human QTLs for lipoprotein phenotypes, and with Abcg5 and Abcg8. Overall, we detected eight QTLs for lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations on Chrs 1, 9, 12, and 17 (each two per chromosome), including a new QTL for non-HDL cholesterol, Nhdlq3, on Chr 17.

Excessive fat consumption can increase blood cholesterol level. Phytosterol composition in the plant can decrease blood cholesterol level. One of the plants that contain phytosterol is beans. This study was to prove the effect of antihypercholesterol the ethanol extract of the beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with variety of doses of 50 mg/Kg BW; 100 mg/Kg BW and 150 mg/Kg BW in male Wistar rats with high fat level condition. Subjects of this study were 24 Wistar rats divided into 6 groups randomly with posttest control group study design. First group as negative control, second group as positive control, and the third (high cholesterol diet and ethanol extract in dose of 50 mg/kg,bw), fourth ( high cholesterol diet and ethanol extractin dose of 100 mg/kg,bw), fifth ( high cholesterol diet and ethanol extract in dose of 150 mg/kg,bw),  sixth (high cholesterol diet and simvastatin drug). The data was analyzed with ANOVA Tukey test. The result of this study shows total cholesterol levels decrease 23,88%; 30,14%; 35,82%. Cholesterol LDL levels decrease 38,09%; 52,38%; 61,35%. Cholesterol HDL levels increase 21,86%; 56,56%; 63,84%. Dose variant on this study giving the best result to decrease total cholesterol levels and LDL was 150 mg/Kg BW. Furthermore, 100 mg/Kg BW dose gave the best result to increase HDL cholesterol level. Based on the results it can be suggested that beans ethanol extract is able to decrease total cholesterol level, LDL and increase HDL cholesterol levels.

Background.Abnormal lipid homeostasis in sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by defects in plasma and erythrocyte lipids and may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This study assessed the lipid profile and non-HDL cholesterol level of SCD patients.Methods.A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 50 SCD patients, in the steady state, aged 8–28 years, attending the SCD clinic, and 50 healthy volunteers between the ages of 8–38 years. Serum lipids were determined by enzymatic methods and non-HDL cholesterol calculated by this formula: non-HDL-C = TC-HDL-C.Results.Total cholesterol (TC) (p=0.001) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (p<0.0001) were significantly decreased in cases compared to controls. The levels of non-HDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) were similar among the participants. The levels of decrease in TC and HDL were associated with whether a patient was SCD-SS or SCD-SC. Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were each significantly associated with increased VLDL [SBP,p=0.01, OR: 0.74 (CI: 0.6–0.93); DBP,p=0.023, OR: 1.45 (CI: 1.05–2.0)].Conclusion.Dyslipidemia is common among participants in this study. It was more pronounced in the SCD-SS than in SCD-SC. This dyslipidemia was associated with high VLDL as well as increased SBP and DBP.

Xanthine Derivatives

Statin side effects are not a rare occurrence, in particular dyspeptic disorders, insomnia, headache, skin erythema, rash are often noted. All of this determines scientists to find new effective and low-toxic hypolipidemic agents. Various natural and synthetic xanthine derivatives have been recognized as therapeutically potential compounds and reported to control various diseases. Therefore, the study of new xanthine derivatives and their hypolipidemic effects, which would have a significant therapeutic effect with minimal side effects, is relevant. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of 7-β-hydroxy-γ-aryloxypropylxanthinyl-8-thioalkanic acid derivatives on lipidogram parameters in experimental laboratory rats. Materials and methods. The objects of the study were 7-β-hydroxy-γ-aryloxypropylxanthinyl-8-thioalkanic acid derivatives. The experiments were performed in white laboratory Wistar rats weighing 180–220 g. Experimental modeling of hyperlipidemia – tween model: intraperitoneal administration of tween-80 at a dose of 200 mg/100 g body weight. The test compounds were administered orally, simultaneously with tween, at a dose of 1/10 of LD50 (previously calculated by Prozorovsky express method) for 6 days. The following indicators of lipidogram were determined: total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL cholesterol), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), triglycerides (TG) and atherogenic index of plasma: TC – HDL cholesterol / HDL cholesterol. The experiments were carried out with respect to Bioethical rules and norms. Results. The studies have shown data on the hypolipidemic activity of 7-β-hydroxy-γ-aryloxypropylxanthinyl-8-thioalkane acid derivatives. According to the conditional efficiency index Ʃ, which included the overall percentage of the following indicators – total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, the leading compounds were 2439 (87.47 %), 6047 (82.30 %). The reference drug atorvastatin had a value of 82.98 %. Conclusions. The major compound was 2439 identified among all compared to the control group. The prospect of further research is a more detailed study on the ability of xanthine derivatives to exhibit hypolipidemic effects and to influence oxidative stress in various hyperlipidemic models.

Objective: is to assess the dyslipidemia control and demographic differences in lipid patterns among dyslipidemic cardiac patients. Method: data based a retrospective analysis of 504 persons (age mean 58.16 ± 11.119 years) was conducted in Malaysia which estimated the lipid abnormalities in statin-treated patients. Demographic data including age, race, alcoholic and smoking status were collected. Lipid profiles including triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured. Results: a desirable level of (TC) and (TG) were 62.2% and 54.4% respectively, optimal level of (LDL-C) was 66.5% and the normal level of (HDL-C) was 54.2%. Risk factor analysis of dyslipidemia was done with a primary focus on the possible impact of statin type, gender, race and dyslipidemia type. Atorvastatin was significantly more effective for primary dyslipidemia than simvastatin and lovastatin in HDL cholesterol ( p < 0.002), while in LDL cholesterol (p = 0.001) and total cholesterol (p < 0.03) simvastatin was significantly found more effective for primary dyslipidemia. A significant correlation emerged between gender and statin type in HDL cholesterol (p < 0.02) and total cholesterol TC (p < 0.001), atorvastatin is found more effective to be used by males than females. A correlation was also significant between gender and dyslipidemia type in HDL cholesterol (p < 0.01). Results for triglyceride reported a significant relationship between age, race and statin type (p < 0.001), atorvastatin was found to be more effective among Chinese while lovastatin was more effective among Indians. Finally 18.2% abnormality of HDL was explained by interactions of risk factors: first statin type and dyslipidemia type, second for gender and dyslipidemia type and the third was gender and statin type. Conclusions: more than 50% of cardiac outpatients were in an acceptable range of lipid profile evaluation. This could support the need for increasing attention to basic monitoring of cardiovascular risk factors in these dyslipidemic patients particularly in Asian population.

Introduction: Reference interval (RIs) is the range of values provided by laboratory scientists in a convenient and practical form to support clinician in interpreting observed values for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of a disease. Laboratories in Nepal uses RIs, provided in the kit inserts by the manufacturers or from the scientific literature, established for western/European population. It is well known that population across the globe differs physiologically, genetically; race, ethnically, lifestyle, food habits and diet which have great impact on the reference values. Thus, it is inappropriate to use RIs that do not represent the local population. This approach highlights for establishing reference values in Nepalese population using the IFCC-CRIDL guidelines published in (C28-A3). Objectives: The objective of this study is to analyze blood lipids concentration in apparently healthy Nepalese population to set up reference values for total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), High Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and Low Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and compare with the internationally recommended values. Methods: Reference individuals selected from healthy volunteers according to the IFCC/C-RIDL protocol in (C28 –A3). Volunteers were requested to avoid excessive physical exertion/exercise/excessive eating and drinking and fast overnight for 10-12 hour. Blood samples were collected from 120 subjects from each five centers of the country between 7:00-10:00 am, serum were separated and refrigerated at -20 in a cryo-vials. Finally, 617 samples were transported to Yamaguchi University, Graduate School of Medicine, Ube, Japan for analysis in dry Ice and 30 parameters were measured by fully automated biochemistry analyzer, Beckman Coulter (BC480) in the clinical laboratory. Results: A reference interval for each parameter was calculated from the 95% reference intervals ranging from 2.5% and 97.5% percentiles and, arithmetic mean + 2 SD were also calculated. The 95% reference range for total cholesterol (2.53-6.14), triglyceride was(0.42-3.32),for HDL Cholesterol was (0.28-1.46), for LDL was(1.05-4.00) and for VLDL was (0.054-0.92) for Nepalese population. Conclusion: Nepalese clinicians can take into consideration of reference lipid values of this study for diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of disease. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol.

Background: Nowadays, cardiovascular disease caused by hypercholesterolemia has become the main cause of death. Propolis has been used widely to reduce plasma cholesterol levels.Objective: The aims of this research was to study the effect of propolis on lipid profile of hypercholesterolemic Sprague Dawley rats.Method: This was an experimental study with pre-post test. Twenty four (24) male Sprague Dawley rats aged 12-16 week old, weighing 125-200 g were allocated into 4 groups. Group I received standard meal + aquadest-gavage; group II received high cholesterol meal + PTU 0,01 + aquadest gavage; group III received high cholesterol meal + PTU 0,01 + 0,027 g propolis gavage; group IV received high cholesterol meal + PTU 0,01 + 0,054 g propolis gavage. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels before and after treatment were measured. The data were then analyzed with One Way Anova.Results: The study showed that there were no significant differences in changes of body weight. There were significant differences in total cholesterol levels between all groups of treatment. Triglyceride levels were significantly different among all groups, except between group I and IV. Furthermore, the HDL cholesterol levels of group I vs III and group I vs IV were significantly different. However, there were no differences found in LDL cholesterol levels among all groups of treatment.Conclusion: Provision of 0,027 g and 0,054 g propolis improve lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels) of hypercholesterolemic rats.

Brown Adipose

IntroductionPositive regulatory domain containing 16 (PRDM16) protein represents the key regulator of brown adipose tissue (BAT) development. It induces brown fat phenotype and represses white adipose tissue specific genes through the association with C-terminal binding co-repressor proteins (CtBP1 and CtBP2). In healthy adults presence of BAT has been associated with lower glucose, total cholesterol and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels. Our aim was to analyze the association of PRDM16 gene (rs12409277) and CtBP2 gene (rs1561589) polymorphisms with body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose level and lipid profile of adolescents.Material and methodsOur study included 295 healthy school children, 145 boys (49.2%) and 150 girls (50.8%), 15 years of age. Genotypes for the selected polymorphisms were detected by the real-time PCR method. Age, gender, height, weight, lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides) and fasting glucose levels were recorded.ResultsWe did not find a statistically significant association of rs12409277 and rs1561589 polymorphisms with BMI, fasting glucose and lipid profile of adolescents. We further analyzed the combined effect of the two SNPs and the statistical analysis showed that carriers of CT genotype of rs12409277 polymorphism and GG genotype of rs1561589 polymorphism had significantly lower total cholesterol (p = 0.001) and LDL cholesterol (p = 0.008) levels compared to all other groups of genotypes.ConclusionsOur study suggests that rs12409277 and rs1561589 polymorphism might have an influence on total and LDL cholesterol levels in adolescents. Larger studies should be performed in order to confirm our results.
