This study was conducted  to explain the possibility of lyophilization of low – density lipoprotein (LDL)  that is extracted from the egg yolk to be used instead of the egg yolk in  a dilute  semen of Awassi sheep and its  impact on  the rate of deformities of sperm  after stored at 5 ° C for five days. The study  was conducted from September 2015 to February  2016 and in three stages. The first stage started from July until August 2015 in the laboratory of viruses, that is a related Department to the plant protection office. During this stag the (LDL) was extracted  through several sequential steps from fresh egg yolk, and purified and stored in Fastened and steriled vials which are refrigerated until the time of lyophilization. The second stage was conducted  in August  2015 in Al-Kindy company. During  this study the liquid (LDL) was  lyophilized  and kept in steriled and tightly- fostened viols and then was stored in under the  0°C . The  third stage was conducted in the college of Agriculture/ University of Baghdad. In this stage the semen was collected from four of the Awassi rams of the age (2 – 4) years .The semen samples were collected using artificial vagina and the pooled, to remove  the individual differences between the rams. Later on the sample was divided on the experimental treatments evenly 1 ml/ transaction using a dilute Tris with 1:10 dilution ratio. The different concentrations of LDL on the characteristics of semen have also been studied. However; the experiment was conducted from January to February 2016 and during which three concentrations of LDL have been used (3.2 , 4.8 and 6.2%) the transactions T1, T2 , and respectively and the control treatment (20% EY). The improve of the lyophilized LDL has been studied on the different kinds of distortions that effect the sperm at  preservation temperature 5°C, for five consecutive days. Results of the experiment to outweigh LDL transactions in the low proportion of the various distortions that happens to sperm in distortions head swollen to the control group in two days, third, fourth and zero, distortions on other days as well as these transactions excelled in deformation of the tail broken on the fourth day, and in other types of malformations observed failure the presence of significant difference between the control group as in the distortions severed head and tail severed tail twisted as well as the lack of distortions in other types as in distortions tail double moderation bulging and widget, we conclude from the foregoing the possibility of using LDL lyophilized in thinners semen because of its ability in maintaining semen and reduce some types of malformations as well as he did not adversely affect the sperm as it was similar to egg yolk in maintaining sperm if not better.

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of VêO® premium and vitamin C (Vit. C) supplementation on lipid profile before and during pregnancy in local Iraqi ewes during heat stress. The study was conducted in a private field in Fallujah city, west Iraq, during the period from 6/8/2019 to 8/2/2020. Twenty local Iraqi ewes were divided randomly into four equal groups (5 for each group) The first group (T1) was given VêO® premium (4 g/ ewe/ day), the second group (T2) was given VêO® premium (2 g/ ewe/ day), and the third group (T3) was given Vit. C (40 mg/ ewe/ day), and the fourth group (T4) was left without treatment, as a control group. After 14 days of treatment, vaginal sponges were inserted for 14 days and, after their withdrawal, the rams were introduced for 6 days. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein into vacutainer tubes (10 ml) at 4 periods (periods 1 and 2 before pregnancy; periods 3 and 4 during pregnancy). Lipid profile parameters were also estimated, which includes cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and malondialdehyde (MDA). There were no significant difference in the serum levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, and LDL among the various treatments before and during pregnancy. The level of VLDL was significantly higher in T2 group as compared to the other treatments (P≤0.05) at the fourth periods. There was a significant difference in the level of MDA (P≤0.05) in treatment T3 in the first period compared with the treatments T1, T2, and T4, whereas treatment T4 showed significantly higher level (P≤0.05) in the second, third, and fourth periods as compared to treatments T1, T2, and T3. In conclusion, different effects of VêO® premium and Vitamin C supplementation were noticed on the lipid profile before and during pregnancy in local Iraqi ewes during heat stress.

The extent of lipoprotein glycation was assessed in 82 patients diagnosed as diabetes mellitus type II. Glycated lipoprotein levels in serum were determined by agarose gel film electrophoresis in 48 non-diabetic control subjects, 56 diabetics with complications and 26 diabetics with no complications. All glycated lipoproteins were higher in the patients when the diabetics were compared to the control group, but glycated very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) was the only glycated lipoprotein fraction that was observed to be higher in the diabetic patients with complications compared to the patients without complications ( P < 0·01). Triglycerides and VLDL-cholesterol were also increased in the diabetics, but there was no significant difference in these variables when the patients without complications were compared to the control subjects. There was no difference in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels of the diabetic patients compared to the controls.

Two glycopeptides (A and B) were isolated from pronase-digested vitellenin, the protein moiety of the low-density lipoprotein of hen's egg yolk. Aspartic acid was the only N-terminal amino acid of both glycopeptides but only A contained N-acetylneuraminic acid. A contained 55% hexose (mannose), 14% hexosamine, 12% N-acetylneuraminic acid, 0.71% amide nitrogen, and its molecular weight was 2.3 × 103. The corresponding values for B were 64, 17, 0.0, 0.75, and 2.0 × 103. Chemical analyses showed that B (and probably A) occurs in vitellenin with the heteropolysaccharide group bound N-glycosidically via the β-amide group of an asparaginyl residue. The indicated structure is R∙(NH)Asp∙Thr∙Ser∙(Ala, Gly, Val)∙Ile, where R, the heteropolysaccharide group, contains 2 hexosamine and 8 hexose residues.

The present study evaluated the effect of whole egg consumption on the liver, testes, cauda epididymal sperm reserve and lipid profile of male rats. These evaluations were carried out on adult twenty (20) male albino rats, which were randomly selected into four groups of 5 rats each, designated groups A, B, C and D. Group A was the control group and received only equivalent volume of distilled water, while groups B, C and D received 0.25mg/kg, 0.5mg/kg; and 1.0mg/kg body weight of the quail egg respectively. Standard procedures were carried out in the tissue processing, cauda epididymal sperm reserve and in lipid profile determinations. On days 35 and 49, the mean serum total cholesterol value of group D was significantly lower than that of the control group. On day 35, the mean serum low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein (LDL and HDL cholesterol) values of all the treatment groups were significantly lower and higher than that of the control group, respectively. However, on days 49 and 63, the mean serum very low density lipoprotein (VLDL cholesterol) and triglyceride values of all the treatment groups were significantly higher than that of the control group. A significant increase in cadual epididymal sperm count (CESR) was recorded on day 63 at the mid and high doses. No obvious pathological lesions were observed in the histomorphology of the testes and liver when compared to the control. Therefore, whole quail egg consumption caused an increase in serum triglyceride and very low density lipoprotein concentration, and also improved fertility. In other words, prolonged consumption of quail egg should be done with caution as it may predispose one to cardiovascular disease.
