AbstractData have demonstrated that whey protein (WP) enhances the immune system. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of WP from three camel breeds on oxidative stress, blood lipid profile and the cytokine levels. Seventy five male mice were randomly split into five groups. The first served as a control group. The second, the third and the fourth groups were orally administrated the WP from Majaheim, Maghateer and Soffer camel breeds, respectively, at a dose of 100 mg/kg mouse body weight. The fifth group was supplemented with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Results showed similar electrophoretic patterns of the three whey proteins. WP was found to significantly inhibit the hydroperoxide and the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in leukocytes, liver and skin as well as the blood cholesterol level in a time dependent manner. A significant enhancement of glutathione was revealed in WP groups. Furthermore, WP was found to significantly elevate the IL-2 with a significant time dependent enhance of IL-8. On contrast, a significant lowering effect of whey proteins on the pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 was detected. Moreover, a mitogenic activity of WP was observed on the lymphocytes. Non-significant changes were observed in AST, ALT, creatinine and glucose level. These findings suggest that WP significantly improved the levels of the oxidative markers and the immune functions without any difference in the bioactivities of the three studied whey proteins.

Ground nut is one of the commonly used decorative nutritious relish seed around the world. Ground nut have hypocholesterolamic, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, anti-atherosclerotic, immune-modulatory and bacterial counting effects. In Bangladesh, limited research has so far been performed on the action of ground nut in biological system and its comparative efficacy with commercialized drugs that reduce blood cholesterol. The aim of this study was carried on the effects of PUFA on blood total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglyceride (TG) and against artificial inoculation (I/N) Staphylococcus aureus infection of experimental rat by feeding of ground nut. A total of fifteen long Evans rats (Rattus norvegicus) were used for this study. The rats were randomly divided into three equal groups (n=5) and numbered as A, B and C. Group A (control), Group B (50gm ground nut/ day/group), group C (100 gm ground nut/day/group). All groups were supplied with standard broiler pellet and fresh drinking water throughout the experimental period (January to June /2012). The blood samples were collected directly from the heart at the 1st and 60th day for biochemical test (TC, LDL, HDL and TG) and test was performed as per Memorial Diagnostic Centre, Charpara, Mymensingh. Staphylococcus aureus was cultured in nutrient broth and 100 µl of their culture was inoculated into the rats through intranasal route. Among all the treated groups, the rats of group C exhibited the lowest TC value, TG and LDL and reduced blood cholesterol significantly than (control group A) followed by group B. In bacteriological examinations, it was found that the number of bacterial colony lowest in group C in comparison with the group of A and B. From the present experiment, it can be assumed that PUFA has significant effect on blood lipid profile and against bacterial infection.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. June 2015, 1(2): 235-243

This study was conducted with 180 female Swiss albino mice to examine the effects of supplementing broiler fat in the diets of mice on blood lipid profile. Twenty one days old mice were collected from ICDDRB, Mohakhali, Dhaka. They were randomly distributed in four groups having three replications each. Each replicate group had 15 mice. Results revealed that supplementation of broiler fat in mice diet significantly changed (p<0.05) triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) among groups. The control group (T0) had the highest level of cholesterol and LDL. Cholesterol, TG and LDL markedly increased (p<0.05) in all dietary treatment groups, while high density lipoprotein (HDL) significantly (p<0.01) decreased after supplementation of experimental diets. It was concluded that all the dietary treatments in general increased blood cholesterol, TG and LDL in mice fed broiler fat with different oil supplements. However, the soybean and palm oil group was comparatively better than other groups in respect of cholesterol, HDL and LDL at the blood lipid profile of mice. Therefore, it can be concluded that consumption of broiler fat with soybean and palm oil could be less harmful for mice.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v43i1.19380 Bang. J. Anim.

Abstract Blast lung injury (BLI) is the major cause of death in explosion-derived shock waves; however, the mechanisms of BLI are not well understood. To identify the time-dependent manner of BLI, a model of lung injury of rats induced by shock waves was established by a fuel air explosive. The model was evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining and pathological score. The inflammation and oxidative stress of lung injury were also investigated. The pathological scores of rats’ lung injury at 2 h, 24 h, 3 days, and 7 days post-blast were 9.75±2.96, 13.00±1.85, 8.50±1.51, and 4.00±1.41, respectively, which were significantly increased compared with those in the control group (1.13±0.64; P&lt;0.05). The respiratory frequency and pause were increased significantly, while minute expiratory volume, inspiratory time, and inspiratory peak flow rate were decreased in a time-dependent manner at 2 and 24 h post-blast compared with those in the control group. In addition, the expressions of inflammatory factors such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, FosB, and NF-κB were increased significantly at 2 h and peaked at 24 h, which gradually decreased after 3 days and returned to normal in 2 weeks. The levels of total antioxidant capacity, total superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase were significantly decreased 24 h after the shock wave blast. Conversely, the malondialdehyde level reached the peak at 24 h. These results indicated that inflammatory and oxidative stress induced by shock waves changed significantly in a time-dependent manner, which may be the important factors and novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of BLI.

Background:Health organizations suggest that adults ought to engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity daily physical activity. This study investigated the effects of a 30-minute single daily bout of brisk walking upon risk factors for coronary heart disease with blood lipid profile in particular.Methods:Thirty-three (25–45 y) adults, were randomly assigned into an exercise group (EG; n = 16, 9w) and a control group (CG; n = 17, 6w). The EG walked briskly 30 minutes daily during the 3-week test period. Compliance/adherence was maximal throughout the 3-week intervention due to stringent daily monitoring.Results:The EG showed a significant decrease in concentrations of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC) during the intervention period. A significant inverse correlation between Δ energy expenditure/day and Δ LDL-C (r = –0.39, P < .05) and an improvement in weight and BMI in the EG was found. Average steps during 30 minutes brisk walking bout was 3669 steps/bout generating a mean energy expenditure of 191 kcal/ bout.Conclusions:The most unique findings were that daily single bouts of moderate-intensity physical activity for 30 minutes, during 3 weeks, induced favorable effects upon body weight, BMI, and blood concentration of LDL-C and TC in healthy adults.

Abstract This study aims at probing the inhibitory effect of transmembrane PBLs on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) H446 cells and the potential application of PBLs on immune system of the experimental mice loaded with H446 cells. The changes of the gene expression of microRNA-25 and 223 in ICR mice with NSCLC were also investigated. Sixty ICR mice were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The animal model was established via inoculation of NSCLC H446 cells at the hind thigh of mice. The plasmid PBLs was dissolved in saline solution and injected into the muscle of left thigh of the mice in experimental groups with different doses (0.1 mg, 0.2 mg and 0.3 mg per ICR mouse) using in situ injection method. After injection of PBLs solution, each three mice were killed at 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h, respectively. The expression of microRNA-25 and 223 were detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Tumor Necrosis Factor-γ (TNF-γ), Interleukelin-2 (IL-2) and Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid (BALF) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of TNF-γ and IL-2 protein in lung tissue were detected by western blotting. The expression of microRNA-25 was up-regulated in the tissues and BALF with a dose- and time-dependent manner while microRNA-223 was down-regulated. The difference were statistically significant comparing the control group (P<0.05). The TNF-γ and IL-2 levels in BALF of ICR mice in experimental group were increased comparing the control group with a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Synergistic effect between PBLs and HSP70 was also studied. It was found that the growth of tumor was significantly suppressed after the transfection of PBLs. In the presence of PBLs, the proliferation of splenocytes and cytolysis in early phase of tumor development was significantly enhanced. Thus, such anti-tumor effect was further improved by the synergistic effect of PBLs with HSP70. The expression of microRNA-25 and 223 are associated with NSCLC in a dose- and time-dependent manner, they might be considered as potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of NSCLC.

Latar Belakang: Dislipidemia adalah terjadinya kelainan metabolisme lipid, baik peningkatan maupun penurunan fraksi lipid dalam darah. Kelainan fraksi lipid yang utama adalah kenaikan kadar kolesterol total, kenaikan kadar LDL, kenaikan kadar trigliserida serta penurunan kadar HDL. Tingginya kadar lipid dalam darah dapat menyebabkan terjadinya aterosklerosis, yang ditandai dengan terdapatnya ateroma pada bagian intima arteri yang berisi kolesterol, zat lipoid, dan lipofag. Perkembangan lebih lanjut dari aterosklerosis ini akan menimbulkan komplikasi pada organ target diantaranya jantung dan otak. Tujuan Penelitian: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ekstrak etanol herba poguntano (EEHP) terhadap profil lipid tikus putih jantan dislipidemia (penurunan kadar kolesterol total, kadar trigliserida, kadar LDL dan peningkatan kadar HDL) serta terhadap proses aterosklerosis. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian ini dilakukan terhadap 30 ekor tikus putih jantan yang dibagi dalam 6 kelompok. Kelompok I sebagai kontrol normal, kelompok II sebagai kontrol negatif diberikan Na-CMC dosis 10 ml/kg bb, kelompok III sebagai kontrol positif diberikan atorvastatin dosis 2 mg/kg bb, kelompok IV, V, dan VI sebagai kelompok perlakuan diberi EEHP dosis 75, 150 dan 300 mg/kg bb. Hewan uji diberi induksi pakan tinggi lemak yang berupa campuran kuning telur puyuh, minyak jelantah, dan lemak sapi selama 14 hari berturut-turut untuk mendapatkan hewan uji dislipidemia yang dilanjutkan dengan treatment selama 14 hari berturut-turut. Pengukuran kadar profil lipid dilakukan pada hari ke-28. Hasil: Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa EEHP dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol total, kadar trigliserida, dan kadar LDL serta dapat meningkatkan kadar HDL secara nyata (p < 0,05). Kesimpulan: Berdasarkan hasil diatas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa EEHP mempuyai pengaruh terhadap profil lipid tikus dislipidemia (penurunan kadar kolesterol total, kadar trigliserida, kadar LDL dan peningkatan kadar HDL) serta dapat mencegah proses terjadinya aterosklerosis. Background: Dysplipidemia is a lipid metabolism dysfunctionsuch as the incline and the decline of blood lipid profile. The main abnormallipid fractionlevel are the increase of total cholesterol level, LDL level, and triglyceride and the decline of HDL level. The high level of blood lipid can cause atherosclerosis with the atheroma in arterial intima that contains cholesterol, lipoid, and lipophage. The advance stage of atherosclerosis can cause complications to target organs such as heart and brain. Objectives: This research aimed to evaluate the effects of herbapurganto (PiciaPicriaFelTerraeLour) ethanol extract on Lipid Profile of Dyspilidemic Male Rat(the decline of total cholesterol level, triglyceride level, LDL level, and the increase of HDL level) and also the atherosclerosis process. Research method: This research was conducted to 30male ratswhich dividedinto 6 groups. Group 1was served as the normal control, Group 2was servedas negative controls which were given 10 ml/kg bb Na-CMC , Group 3 was served as positive controls which were given 2 mg/kg bb of atorvastatin dosage, Group 4, 5, and 6 were served as the treatment group, and administered with EEHP at the dose of 75, 150, and 300 mg/kb bb .

Medical nutritional therapy is an important part of the comprehensive management of type II DM. Good glycemic control can control blood lipid profile levels so that it can reduce the risk of complications of heart disease in people with type II diabetes. This study aims to determine whether education with assistance for 6 months affects macronutrient intake, HbA1c, and lipid profiles in patients with Type II diabetes. This study used a Quasi-Experimental design with experimental design The Pretest-Postest design without a control group. The sample used the purposive sampling method according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria with 30 samples. The research data were obtained from secondary data from the Endocrine Metabolic Poly and Nutritional Poly RSCM Research in 2017. The results showed that there was a significant effect (p 0.05) of education with assistance for 6 months on the value of HbA1c, while with the intake of macronutrients (carbohydrates and fats), LDL and triglycerides had no significant effect (p 0.05). HBA1c levels in this study were significantly related to blood triglyceride levels. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out more research using nutrition education methods with assistance to working groups of young adults and the need to pay attention to compliance with medication consumption or the use of insulin therapy. ABSTRAKTerapi gizi medik merupakan bagian penting dalam pengelolaan DM tipe II secara komprehensif. Kontrol glikemik yang baik dapat mengendalikan kadar profil lipid darah sehingga dapat menurunkan risiko komplikasi penyakit jantung pada penderita DM tipe II.
