Protein C receptor and high sensitivity C reactive protein levels are considered to be the markers of endothelial damage and the endothelial protein C receptor is associated with phosphatidylcholine (PC) for its function. PC can be replaced with other lipids, such as lysophosphatidylcholine or ...
as the postprandial TAG response can not be attributed to a single tissue. Similarly, it is important to consider the impact of fasting TAG levels on postprandial lipemia, as N-3 PUFA are known to lower
Levels of vitamin A, D, and E remained steady during the treatment term and did not show notable changes (Supplemental Fig. S2). Discussion This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orlistat (60 mg administered three times daily for 24 weeks) in Japanese participants ...
It is well known that LPL activity and mass are associated with fluctuation TG and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (17., 18., 19.). Several common polymorphisms and functional variants in the LPL gene have been identified to be associated with lipid profile and risk of ...
Indeed, another type of skin-draining lymph nodes, the axillary lymph nodes, also expressed high levels of IL-17 mRNA (Fig. 2f). These results suggest that the skin system has a pivotal role in IL-17 upregulation. Importantly, IL-17 expression was detected in PLCδ1 − / −...
As shown in Figure 4A, most PLD genes are expressed in a variety of tissues, including seedlings, roots, stems, leaves and im- mature seeds, although some of them have lower expression levels (expression levels of PLDα6-8, δ1-3 and κ are too low to be detected by qRT-PCR). ...
Alignment of the Mac1p sequences exhibited high levels of variability, however, these sequences were motif-rich in relation to other genes in the MEL cluster. A clear consensus pattern [STAGCN]-[RKH]-[LIVMAFY] and a C-terminal targeting signal “ARL” at aa550 to aa552 was detected in...
The cRNA concentrations that stimulated too low or too high [Ca2+]i responses produced the lowest cleavage and developmental rates. These data are consistent with previous reports in the literature showing the regulatory role of [Ca2+]i oscillations on the initiation and completion of oocyte activat...
Mice (unlike humans) have high levels of circulating HL (40), making it all the more striking that leukocyte-derived HL deficiency had effects on atherosclerosis and HDL-cholesterol in the presence of systemic HL expression. This suggests that leukocyte-derived HL exerts local effects on HDL and...
LPL, lyso-phospholipidEA, elaidic acidPLA2, phospholipase A2PLC, phospholipase CFree fatty acids accumulate in the cell membranes of plant organs, such as seeds and pollen, that undergo periods of dry storage. Loss of viability in some of these tissues is correlated with high levels of free...
