Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy the Effect of Extracted Low-Density Lipoprotein from Egg Yolk on the Cryopreservation of Nguni Bull SemenMduduzi M. Tshabalala, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi, Khathutshedzo A. Nephawe et al.The mechanism on how Egg Yolk (EY) helps sperm to survive the low temperature outside the animal body during cryopreservation and thawing process is not yet known. It is usually believed that the Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is the major component that provides protection. The present study was undertaken to assess the cryo-protective effect of different concentrations (6, 8, 10 and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2021 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorpus Luteum Morphology and Function After Timed Artificial Insemination (TAI) in Nelore Heifers Supplemented with Sunflower Seed in their DietsGabriel Molinari de Mattos, Beatriz de Moraes Ropelli, Claudia Maria Bertan Membrive et al.The dietary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) supplementation, before the Timed Artificial Insemination (TAI) protocol, may contribute to a reduction in embryonic mortality. In this context, we hypothesized that dietary supplementation with sunflower seed, before the TAI protocol, will promote an increase in the ovulatory Follicle Diameter (FD), with a consequent increase in the Corpus Luteum Diameter (CLD) and the plasma … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 12 Jul 2021 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Flaxseed Supplementation on Lipid Metabolism, Oxidative Balance and Genetic Damage in GoatsMaria Eugenia Cecchini, Dardo Roma, Franco Magnago et al.Epidemiological evidence indicates that flaxseed reduces oxidative stress and cholesterol levels in blood. In this study we evaluated the lipid profile, oxidation of plasma lipids and genetic damage in goats fed on a diet supplemented with flaxseed. Thirteen adult male goats were split in two experimental groups; one of them was fed on a conventional diet of alfalfa and ground … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 22 May 2018 · 7,657 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Fats and Heart Disease: From Prenatal to Postnatal EnvironmentSukhinder K. CheemaProblem statement: Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and is dramatically increasing in developing countries. Preventive approaches, such as dietary and lifestyle changes can have major health implications to prevent the onset of heart disease. Besides healthy nutrition in the adult life, maternal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation can also have a significant impact on the outcome … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Aug 2012 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVitamin C Alleviates Chronic Chlorpyrifos Induced Alterations in Serum Lipids and Oxidative Parameters in Male Wistar RatsS. F. Ambali, M. Shittu, J. O. Ayo et al.Problem statement: Although the increase incidence of cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes mellitus has been attributed to changing life style, the role of environmental contaminants is currently being given considerable attention. Pesticides, including Organophosphate (OP) insecticides are one of the most pervasive environmental contaminants that are deliberately released into the environment. Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used OP insecticide has been … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomarkers of Oxidative DNA Damage and Soluble Fas/Fas Ligand in Type 2 Diabetic PatientsMohamed H. Mahfouz, Ibrahim A. Emara, Ghada A. OmarProblem statement: Involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications has been proposed. 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) has been reported to serve as a new sensitive biomarker of the oxidative DNA damage in vivo. Apoptosis via Fas/Fas Ligand (FasL) interactions has been proposed to be a major T-cell-mediated effector mechanism in autoimmune diabetes. This study was undertaken to investigate whether … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2012 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHypolipidemic Effects of Coenzyme Q10 in Experimentally Induced Hypercholesterolemic Model in Female RatsAtef M. Al-AttarProblem statement: Hyperlipidemia is well known to play a main role in the development of atherosclerosis. It is characterized by abnormally elevated cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the blood. It has been recognized for many years that hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infraction, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 45,646 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Antioxidant Vitamins C and E Supplementation on its Plasma Levels and on Lipid Profile in Pulmonary Tuberculosis PatientsM. Madhavi, P. Samudram, A. Hemanth Kumar, Lalitha VictorProblem statement: Patients with active pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) are malnourished as indicated by reductions in lean mass, anthropometric indices and micronutrient status. Supplementation with vitamins may prove to be beneficial. Limited information is available on the supplementation of vitamin C and E in pulmonary TB patients. Hence, the present study was undertaken to address the question whether any benefit could … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Lipid-Lowering Efficacy of Switching Within Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in HIV-Infected PatientsA.M. Bain, K.D. Payne, A.P. Rahman et al.The objective of present research is to evaluate the lipid lowering efficacy and safety of switching within non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) in HIV-infected patients. This is a multicenter, retrospective study utilizing a comprehensive electronic patient registry to identify all adult HIV-infected patients seen from October 1, 1998 through October 1, 2006, who substituted efavirenz for nevirapine (EFV→NVP) or vice-versa … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy of Pravastatin in Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI) and Protease Inhibitor (PI)-based HAART in HIV-Infected PatientsSusan A. Eaton, Anita P. Rahman, Sean T. Nguyen et al.Pravastatin has generally been considered a safe and effective option for HIV-infected patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). However, pravastatin concentrations are known to significantly decrease with concomitant efavirenz (EFV) use. Currently there are no studies determining if these reductions in pravastatin possibly translate into an attenuation of its lipid lowering efficacy when used in HIV-infected patients on non-nucleoside … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,959 accessesView PDFCite
