Fortified milk containing Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei, and L. acidophilus isolates and their mixture were used in dosing the male albino rats at an age of 9-12 weeks at an average of 23 g with induced hypothyroidism at a concentration of 0.6 g.kg-1 of carbimazole. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) were estimated. The results showed a significant increase in the level of triglycerides (TG), cholesterol and triglycerides. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), with a significant decrease in the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in infected male mice, compared to the control sample, and upon dosing with liquid milk fortified, it returned to its normal level without significant differences from the control group.

Abstract We evaluated the dual-precipitation method for quantitative measurement of lipoproteins as described by Wilson and Spiger [J. Lab. Clin. Med. 82, 473 (1973)] for normo- and hyperlipemic sera, by comparison with the results obtained with ultracentrifugation. If serum with an above-normal triglyceride concentration is analyzed, the very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol value obtained with the precipitation method is usually too low. For measurement of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol the ultracentrifugation and precipitation procedures give comparable results, but the latter method is preferred because sinking pre-beta-lipoproteins present in the high-density lipoprotein fraction isolated by means of the ultracentrifuge may result in falsely high values for cholesterol in that fraction. Therefore, at least for the determination of very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in hyperlipemic serum, the use of an ultracentrifuge remains necessary. Because few laboratories have an ultracentrifuge at their disposal, it seemed important to look at the stability of sera in view of the forwarding of samples. Also, a way of increasing the efficiency of the ultracentrifuge was studied. Sera can be stored for a week at 4 degrees C or for 54 h at room temperature without noticeable effect on lipoprotein values. Moreover, reliable values can be obtained with an ultracentrifugation time of 8 h (0.8 X 10(8) g-min).

  ABSTRAK Hiperkolesterolemia merupakan suatu kondisi dimana kolesterol dalam darah meningkat melebihi ambang normal yang ditandai dengan meningkatnya kadar kolesterol total terutama Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) dan diikuti dengan penurunan kadar High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) darah, Tujuan penelitian adalah menganalisis pengaruh pemberian asupan jus pepaya terhadap kadar LDL dan kolesterol total pada ibu rumah tangga usia 40-70 tahun yang menderita hiperkolesterolemia. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian true eksperimental dengan desain penelitian pre and post test with control group. Total subjek sebanyak 20 orang yang dibagi kedalam dua kelompok, yaitu Intervensi Jus pepaya dan kelompok kontrol. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kadar kolesterol total pada kelompok jus pepaya mengalami penurunan yang bermakna (p<0,05). Sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol tidak bermakna (p>0,05). Kadar LDL pada kelompok jus pepaya mengalami penurunan yang bermakna (p<0,05). Sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol tidak bermakna (p>0,05). Kesimpulan jus pepaya (carica papaya l) dapat menurunkan kadar LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) dan kolesterol total.   Kata kunci: jus pepaya, kolesterol total, LDL.       ABSTRACT Hypercholesterolemia is a conditions where cholesterol in the bloods increased beyond the normal standard, its showed with cholesterol total level’s was increased especially Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and followed by the decreasing of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in blood, The purpose of this research is analyzing the influence’s of papaya juice intake for LDL’s levels and cholestrol’s total at the age of 40 – 70 years old for housewives with hypercholesterolemia. The method this research is true experimental researchs with pre and post test control group designs. The subject in this research are 20 people and separated into two groups, the first group is papaya juice’s intervention group, and the second is control group. The result of this research show that papaya juice’s has significant result for decreasing cholesterol’s total with p value’s < 0,05 , while the control group has no significant result because its p value’s >0,05. The result for LDL’s levels show that papaya juice’s has significant result too for decreasing LDL’s levels with p value’s < 0,05, while the control group has no significant result because its p value’s >0,05. The conclusion in this research is papaya juice (carica papaya l) can decreased ldl’s levels and cholesterol’s total.   Keywords: cholesterol’s total, LDL, papaya juice.

Background: Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus) is an edible basidiomycete mushroom native to grasslands in Europe and North America. A. bisporus, commonly known as white button mushroom (WBM), is widely cultivated in most countries, and it constitutes the bulk of all mushrooms consumed in the United States and Australia. Traditionally this fungus has used in the treatment of heart diseases. Also it has anti-ageing property.Mushrooms have been found effective against cancer, cholesterol reduction, stress, insomnia, asthma, allergies and diabetes. Objective: The present research was designed to appraise the cardioprotective activity of a hydroalcoholic extract of Agaricus bisporus (EEAB) on Isoproterenol (ISO) induced myocardial infarction (MI) in Albino Wistar rat. Traditionally, Agaricus bisporus is reported in the treatment of heart diseases, cancer, cerebral stroke and anti-ageing property. Materials and Methods: Wistar rats of different sex were randomly split into five groups namely positive control, negative control, standard, test-1 and test-2 and received distilled water, ISO (85 mg/kg), Simvastatin (10 mg/kg/day, oral) and EEAB (200 and 400 mg/kg/day, p.o.) for 30 days, respectively. MI was induced in rats by ISO at an interval of 24 hrs on 31 and 32 day and on the next day, blood was amassed through retro-orbital plexus for the assessment of biochemical markers (cholesterol, lowdensity lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase and total protein) and finally, the rats were immolated by cervical dislocation. The heart tissue was reaped instantly, cleaned with chilled isotonic saline and clasped in 10% buffered formalin and used for the histopathological analysis. Results: ISO p.o. administration significantly elevated the cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels while it decreases high-density lipoprotein and total protein in plasma and administration of EEAB decreases the level of cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels while it increases high-density lipoprotein and total protein levels. Pretreatment with EEAB protected the cardiotoxicity induced by ISO. The histopathological findings support the analysis of biochemical parameters, ISO-induced myocardium showed infracted zone with edema, inflammatory cells, lipid droplets, myocardial necrosis and vacuolization of myofibrils which were reduced. Conclusion: It can be an outcome that EEAB possessed cardioprotective activity against experimental and clinical studies of ISO-induced myocardial infarction in rats.

AbstractTriglyceride hydrolysis by lipoprotein lipase (LPL), regulated by apolipoproteins C-II (apoC-II) and C-III (apoC-III), is essential for maintaining normal lipid homeostasis. During triglyceride lipolysis, the apoCs are known to be transferred from very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) to high-density lipoprotein (HDL), but the detailed mechanisms of this transfer remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the extent of the apoC transfers and their distribution in HDL subfractions, HDL2 and HDL3. Each HDL subfraction was incubated with VLDL or biotin-labeled VLDL, and apolipoproteins and lipids in the re-isolated HDL were quantified using western blotting and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In consequence, incubation with VLDL showed the increase of net amount of apoC-II and apoC-III in the HDL. HPLC analysis revealed that the biotin-labeled apolipoproteins, including apoCs and apolipoprotein E, were preferably transferred to the larger HDL3. No effect of cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor on the apoC transfers was observed. Quantification of apoCs levels in HDL2 and HDL3 from healthy subjects (n = 8) showed large individual differences between apoC-II and apoC-III levels. These results suggest that both apoC-II and apoC-III transfer disproportionately from VLDL to HDL2 and the larger HDL3, and these transfers might be involved in individual triglyceride metabolism.
