There is increased acceptance of fortifying habitual foods with plant sterols and their saturated derivatives, stanols, at levels that are considered safe. These sterols and stanols are recognized as potentially effective dietary components for lowering plasma total and LDL cholesterol. Our previous
Hypocholesterolemia is commonly found in critically ill patients; however, the aetiology of this condition remains unclear. Several clinical studies refer to the possible negative impact of haemodilution on cholesterol (CH) metabolism in acute medical conditions. The aim of this study was to examine
BACKGROUND
Cholesterol is derived via de novo synthesis and dietary absorption. Both processes can be monitored by determination of non-cholesterol sterol concentrations (lathosterol for synthesis; sitosterol and campesterol for absorption). The hypocholesterolemia that occurs during acute illness
BACKGROUND
Cell proliferation, renewal, and apoptosis factors are related to hemorrhagic shock (HS) survival.
OBJECTIVE
Hepatic gene expression before and 24 h after induced HS were compared.
METHODS
Male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 8-9 wk (n = 11) were subjected to blood loss, and HS was induced in 9
OBJECTIVE
To assess if ezetimibe (EZE), a sterol-absorption inhibitor, improves platelet (PLT) count and size relative to its effect on plasma plant sterol (PS) in patients with sitosterolemia (STSL).
METHODS
Patients with STSL (5 males, 3 females, 16-56 years of age) receiving EZE intervention as
Sitosterolemia is a rare, autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter genes ABCG5 or ABCG8 that result in accumulation of xenosterols in the body. Clinical manifestations include tendon xanthomas, premature coronary artery disease,
We compared the intestinal absorption of three vitamin D3 sterols and tested the hypothesis that the intestine hydroxylates absorbed vitamin D and transports polar metabolites in portal venous blood. Micellar solutions containing 50 nmol of a radiolabeled vitamin D3 sterol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3,
African swine fever (ASF) is a hemorrhagic fever of wild and domestic pigs with a high rate of mortality. Originally endemic in Africa, this disease is currently disseminating in Europe and China, causing a large socioeconomic impact. ASF is caused by a DNA virus, African swine fever virus (ASFV).
BACKGROUND
The potentials of the leaves of the haemorrhage plant, Aspilia africana C. D Adams (Compositae) in wound care was evaluated using experimental models. A. africana, which is widespread in Africa, is used in traditional medicine to stop bleeding from wounds, clean the surfaces of sores, in
Cholesterol granuloma (CG) of the paranasal sinuses is rare. The proposed mechanisms of initiation are haemorrhage, impaired drainage and obstruction of ventilation. To the best of our knowledge, association of CG with a specific infection has not been described before. We have recently observed CG
Processing of membrane-bound transcription factors such as sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) and the ER-stress response factor ATF6, and glycoproteins of some hemorrhagic fever viruses are initiated by the proprotein convertase SKI-1/S1P. So far, no cellular protein-based inhibitor
Three species of the genus Trollius (Ranunculaceae) are traditionally used to treat upper respiratory tract infections, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, cold with fever, acute tympanitis, aphthae, mouth sore, hemorrhage and pain of gums, acute lymphangitis and acute periostitis. However, only a
Ficus hispida (FH) Linn. is a moderate sized tree found throughout the year and is grown wild or cultivated for its edible fruits and folklore value. Traditionally, different parts of the plant have been used in the treatment of ulcers, psoriasis, anemia, piles jaundice, vitiligo, hemorrhage,
BACKGROUND
The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA) inhibitors or statins are drugs used in the treatment of dyslipidemies. The clinical trials performed for evaluation of the efficacy observed a reduced incidence of stroke and other trials have demonstrated a better outcome
OBJECTIVE
To review use of alternative pharmacotherapy (AP) in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and significant drug interactions between AP and traditional CVD medications.
METHODS
A literature search of MEDLINE and the National Complementary and Alternative Medicine database was done
