AbstractCommon polymorphisms of theCD36fatty acid transporter gene have been associated with lipid metabolism and cardiovascular disease. Association of aCD36promoter single nucleotide polymorphism genotype with anthropometry and serum lipids was investigated in normal subjects, and in obese subjects during an 8-week low calorie diet and 6-month weight-maintenance period. 2728 normal female Twins UK subjects (mean body mass index 24.8 ± 4.4 kg/m2; age 47.3 ± 12.5 y) and 183 obese male and female Spanish subjects (mean body mass index 30.6 ± 3.0 kg/m2; age 35.0 ± 5.0 y) were genotyped for theCD36-22674T/C(rs2151916) promoter single nucleotide polymorphism. In the Twins UK full cohort, theC-allele was associated with lower low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p= .02,N= 2396). No associations were found in the obese Spanish subjects at baseline, but 6 months after the end of the low-calorie diet, theC-allele was associated with lower total- (p= .03) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p= .01) and higher high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p= .01). Intake of saturated fatty acids was lower in carriers of theC-allele at baseline, but not significantly so (p= .11). However, 6 months after the end of the low-calorie diet, elements of the lipid profile were correlated with saturated fatty acid intake: total cholesterolr= .21,p= .060; low density lipoprotein-cholesterol:r= .25,p= .043; high density lipoprotein-cholesterol:r= –.26,p= .007.CD36promoter SNP allele –22674Cis therefore associated with lower serum low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in normal female twins and with improved lipid profile during weight loss and maintenance in obese subjects.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the genetic predictors of standard low-calorie diet at different polymorphic variations ApoE and LPL genes in obese patients.Materials and methods: Our study involved 88 obese patients aged 19 to 67 years (27 men and 61 women, mean age 38.40 ± 2.82 years and the average BMI 41.71 ± 1.23). Study of lipid metabolism includes the determination of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein determined by spectrophotometry and immuno turbidimetry. Analysis of polymorphisms of LPL gene Ser447Ter (c.1595CG), Cys112Arg (c.388TC) and Arg158Cys (c.526CT) of ApoE gene was performed by polymerase chain reaction.Results: The results show significant differences in the efficacy of diet, depending on the genotype. We found that obese patients have significantly higher carrier genotypes c.388 T/T + c.526 C/C (by 20% reduced total cholesterol, by 19% – triglycerides, by20 % – low density lipoprotein, by 16% – high density lipoprotein, and by 9% – glucose), c.388 T/T + c.526 C/T ApoE gene (by 24% reduced total cholesterol, by 20% – triglycerides, and by 2% increased level of high-density lipoprotein) and C/C LPL gene (by 18% reduced total cholesterol concentration, by 17% – triglycerides, by 16% – high density lipoprotein, by 18% – low density lipoprotein, and by 9% – glucose).Conclusions: Thus, ApoE and LPL genes alleles can be used as biomarkers of prognosis of efficiency of a standard low-calorie diet therapy in obese patients.

Background and Objective: Yoghurt, especially bio-yoghurt has long been recognized as a product with many health benefits for consumers. Also, honey and olive oil have considerable nutritional and health effects. So, the effect of administration of yoghurt made using ABT culture and fortified with honey (2 and 6%), olive oil (1 and 4%) or honey + olive oil (2+1 and 6+4% respectively) on some biological and hematological properties of rats was investigated.Methods:The body weight gain, serum lipid level, blood glucose level, serum creatinine level, Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT) activity, Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (GPT) activity, leukocytes and lymphocytes counts of rats were evaluated.Results:Blending of bio-yoghurt with rats' diet improved body weight gain. Concentrations of Total plasma Cholesterol (TC), High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), Very Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL) and Triglycerides (TG) significantly lowered in plasma of rats fed bio-yoghurt. Levels of TC, LDL, VLDL, and TG also decreased in rat groups feed bio-yoghurt supplemented with honey and olive oil. LDL concentrations were reduced by 10.32, 18.51, 34.17, 22.48, 43.30% in plasma of rats fed classic starter yoghurt, ABT yoghurt, ABT yoghurt contained 6% honey, ABT yoghurt contained 4% olive oil and ABT yoghurt contained 6% honey + 4% olive oil respectively. The blood glucose, serum creatinine, GOT and GPT values of rats decreased while white blood cells and lymphocytes counts increased by feeding bioyoghurt contained honey and olive oil.Conclusion:The findings enhanced the multiple therapeutic effects of bio-yoghurt supplemented with honey and olive oil.
