Normal canine lipid profiles and effects of experimentally induced pancreatitis and hepatic necrosis on lipids.

Normal lipid profiles (total lipids, total cholesterol, phospholipids, free fatty acids, triglycerides, and lipoproteins) were determined in 23 clinic-reared dogs and 26 client-owned dogs. A significantly higher concentration of cholesterol was found in client-owned dogs as compared with clinic-reared dogs. Hepatic necorosis, induced by CCl4, resulted only in a significant decrease in triglycerides. Acute pancreatitis, induced by major and minor pancreatic duct ligations, resulted in a significant increase in free fatty acids and low-density lipoprotein with a decrease in high-density lipoprotein-2.

Studies on changes in lipid profiles of the rat gastric mucosa with stress ulcers.

Gastric mucosal lipid patterns were studied in normal and in restrained rats which developed mucosal erosions. Organic solvent extraction, silicic acid column, and thin-layer chromatography were employed to separate and gas-liquid chromatography and spectrophotometry to quantitize the individual lipid components. Chemical analysis revealed profound alterations in the mucosal lipid profiles of rats with gastric mucosal erosions. Cholesterol esters were markedly elevated, cholesterol, free fatty acids and phosphatidylethanolamine were markedly lower in the extracts of ulcerated tissue, and the titer of lysophospholipids was about eight times higher than in the controls. Lipid phosphorus was elevated in stressed rats. The amount of neutral glycolipids was similar for both groups, but tetra- and oligohexoside ceramides, which were present in the gastric mucosa of the control rats, were virtually absent from the ulcerated mucosa. In contrast to the alterations in lipid profile mentioned above, the total lipid weight per tissue preparation was very similar for the ulcerated and normal control groups.

Amniotic fluid lipid profiles: a rapid gas chromatographic method.

The lipid extract of amniotic fluid has been analysed for the important fatty acids derived mainly from the lecithin component of lung surfactant. Using gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry, these fatty acids have been identified. A positive correlation between certain lipid profiles and lack of lung surfactant with its associated respiratory problems for the newborn infant has been demonstrated.

Serum lipid profiles in patients of myocardial infarction in the Chandigarh area (Northern India).

To study the incidence of hyperlipoproteinaemia in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) in the Chandigarh area, estimations of various lipids have been carried out in 83 patients. A serial study has been carried out in 31 patients. Serum lipoproteins and uric acid were also estimated. Results show an incidence of only 18% hypercholesterolaemia in patients with MI and 15% in normal subjects. Age-wise distribution of hypercholesterolaemia was slightly higher in 41-60 years old patients when compared with other age groups. No other abnormality in lipid profile was observed. Hyperuricaemia was not observed. These results, therefore, differ markedly from those of similar studies published from the western world.

Probiotic supplementation improves body composition, lipid profiles, and fatty acid metabolism in combat sports athletes during the weight reduction phase.

PURPOSE: Pre-competition weight control for combat sports athletes may alter body composition and fatty acid metabolism. Probiotics have shown potential to regulate overall metabolism; however, their specific effects on fatty acid metabolism during weight control in athletes remain unclear. METHODS: Thirty-two combat sports athletes participating in the 4-week weight reduction period were assigned to either the probiotic group (Group E) or the placebo group (Group C). Body composition, lipid profiles, and fatty acid metabolism were measured before and after the 4-week weight reduction phase. RESULTS: All the athletes experienced a decrease in body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, and muscle mass following the 4-week weight loss intervention. Notably, a more significant reduction in body fat percentage (p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.05) was observed, along with lower levels of triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), specifically in Group E. Weight loss intervention resulted in increased levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), specifically acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid. Notably, Group E exhibited higher mean values for SCFAs compared to Group C (p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.05). Additionally, the serum levels of &#x3b3;-linolenic acid and 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid were significantly reduced in Group E (p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.05). In contrast, the majority of free fatty acids (FFAs) showed significant increases, with greater magnitudes of change observed in Group C (p&#x2009;<&#x2009;0.05). CONCLUSION: Probiotic supplementation can improve body composition, enhance SCFAs levels, and decrease circulating FFAs in combat sports athletes, suggesting that probiotics may have a beneficial impact on pre-competition weight management.

Serum and aortic lipid profiles in spontaneous and cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis in Rhesus monkeys.

Serum lipids and lipoproteins and various lipid fractions in the aorta were compared in spontaneously-occurring and cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis of rhesus monkeys. A group of 30 normal monkeys were also studied. Serum cholesterol, total phospholipid and triglyceride values in spontaneous atherosclerosis were similar to normal, but were significantly elevated in cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis. Fractionation of the major phospholipids in animals with spontaneous atherosclerosis showed increased PC with decreased LPC and SP + LPE, while PE was elevated and SP + LPE diminished in cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis. Beta-lipoproteins were markedly increased in cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis, but remained normal in spontaneous atherosclerosis. Among the aortic lipid, PC and PE were significantly elevated in spontaneous atherosclerosis, but in cholesterol-induced atherosclerosis all the neutral lipids were raised, together with a specific rise of PC and decrease of SP + LPE. These observations tend to indicate that the mechanism of atherosclerosis production in the two states greatly varies.

Determination of plasma lipid profiles by automated gas chromatography and computerized data analysis.

Plasma or serum [ 0.1-1.0 ml] was digested with phospholipase C and total lipid extracts were prepared and silylated in the presence of tridecanoylglycerol as internal standard. The neutral lipid and free fatty acid profiles were determined by means of an automated GLC system equipped with an unheated on-column inlet, time actuated liquid injector, programmed heating, cooling and equilibration cycles, and an electronic peak area integrator. The separations were accomplished on a 50 cm x 2 mm i.d. steel column packed with 3% OV-1 on100-120 mesh Gas Chrom Q using nitrogen as a carrier gas in the temperature range 175-350 degrees C. The tube number, peak retention time and peak area were recorded on a punched paper tape, which was subsequently read into a computer via a time-share terminal. The composition of the sample was calculated in relation to the internal standard using a modification of a commercially available computer program and the results were expressed as mg or mole % and characteristic molar ratios of lipid classes. In addition to estimates for total cholesterol and triglyceride, the method provides a detailed account of individual or small groups of molecular species of various lipid classes, which is a major advantage over other automated methods of plasma lipid analyses.

Effects of 12 weeks of resistance and concurrent training with graded protein intakes on lipid profile, kidney and liver biomarkers in middle-aged to older women.

PURPOSE: To examine secondary lipid, kidney-related, and liver-enzyme responses to three protein intakes during resistance training (RT) alone or the same RT plus cycling (CT) in middle-aged to older women. METHODS: In this randomized 2&#xd7;3 factorial trial, 108 women aged 40-77 years were assigned to RT or CT and 0.8, 1.6, or 2.2 g kg-1 d-1 protein for 12 weeks. This complete-case secondary analysis included 83 participants. Linear mixed-effects models tested Time &#xd7; Training, Time &#xd7; Protein, and Time &#xd7; Training &#xd7; Protein effects, with false-discovery-rate-adjusted omnibus tests and Holm-adjusted contrasts. RESULTS: Triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-C, and apolipoprotein B decreased and HDL-C increased in all conditions. Lipid changes differed by protein condition, and several were more favorable with CT; however, CT comprised RT plus additional cycling and greater exercise exposure. Urea, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, the blood urea nitrogen-to-creatinine ratio, and cystatin C increased, whereas three eGFR estimates decreased. Responses differed mainly between 0.8 and the two higher protein conditions, with little evidence of differences between 1.6 and 2.2 g kg-1 d-1. ALT, AST, and GGT differed by protein condition; AST and GGT also showed training-dependent responses. CONCLUSIONS: The dietary and exercise interventions modified lipid and clinical-chemistry responses. Because energy and food composition were not fully matched and CT added cycling to RT, the findings do not isolate protein dose or exercise modality. Changes in eGFR estimates and liver enzymes do not establish organ injury or long-term safety.
