pinus pinaster/triglyceride

The goal of this study was to compare the lipid lowering properties of maritime pine and fish oils in apolipoprotein E-deficient (KOE) mice, an animal model of hyperlipidemia. KOE mice were supplemented with either lard, fish or maritime pine oil (10% w/w) for one month. Compared to lard, fish and

BACKGROUND Conifer seeds are used for food preparation in several countries. Aim of the study To assess the lipid-lowering and antiatherogenic properties of maritime pine (Pinuspinaster) seed oil. METHODS The effects of maritime pine oil supplementation (20% w/w) for 2 weeks were compared to those

The aim of the present study was to assess the antiatherogenic properties of Pinus pinaster (maritime pine) seed oil. To this end, the effects of P. pinaster oil supplementation on lipoprotein levels and atherosclerotic lesions were compared to those of lard or sunflower oil in apolipoprotein

The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of vegetal oils obtained from Pinus pinaster and P. koraiensis seeds on plasma lipoprotein levels and apolipoprotein (apo) gene expression in rats. These oils contain two particular fatty acids of the delta5-unsaturated polymethylene-interrupted

BACKGROUND Pycnogenol, the standardized flavonoid-rich extract from the bark of French maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait), has been shown to modify a number of cardiovascular risk factors. However, that Pycnogenol modulates plasma lipid levels is unclear due to the inconsistent

This open, controlled study evaluated the effects of 6 month supplementation with Pycnogenol® maritime pine bark extract on health risk factors in subjects with metabolic syndrome. Pycnogenol® was used with the aim of improving risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome, central obesity,

Oxidative stress is considered as a mechanism of hepatocellular injury in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Pycnogenol (PYC) is the natural plant extract from the bark of Pinus pinaster Aiton. and has potent antioxidant activities. We studied the protective effect of PYC on excessive fat

The high level of lipids in seeds of some species of conifers suggested that the glyoxylate cycle might have a role in conifer seed metabolism.Six species (Pinus pinea, Pinus pinaster, Pinus canariensis, Pinus strobus, Abies alba, and Cupressus sempervirens) were investigated for their lipid content

Diabetes mellitus, a complex progressive metabolic disorder, leads to some oxidative stress related complications. Pycnogenol® (PYC), a plant extract obtained from Pinus pinaster, has been suggested to be effective in many diseases including diabetes, cancer, inflammatory and immune system

The regular consumption of flavonoids has been associated with reduced mortality and a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The proanthocyanidins found in plasma are very different from the original flavonoids in food sources. The use of physiologically appropriate conjugates of
