NUTRITIONAL REGULATION OF CHOLESTEROL SYNTHESIS AND APOLIPOPROTEIN B KINETICS: STUDIES IN PATIENTS WITH FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA AND NORMAL SUBJECTS TREATED WITH A HIGH CARBOHYDRATE, LOW FAT DIET.

Nutritional regulation of cholesterol synthesis and apolipoprotein B kinetics: studies in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and normal subjects treated with a high carbohydrate, low fat diet.

High carbohydrate, low fat diets decrease plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (apoB) mass in normal subjects and in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).To investigate the mechanisms for these effects, four normal, four FH heterozygous, and one FH homozygous subjects were studied on a basal (45% carbo

Enhancing energy efficiency and heat transfer performance of engine oil flow through hybrid nanoparticles in convergent/divergent channel

Engine oil (EO) is employed as a lubricant in various machinery engines.Efficient heat transfers are a fundamental requirement for all processes.To improve heat transfer rates and reduce the energy loss caused by high temperatures, this study focuses on incorporating Iron Oxide (Fe3O4) and Cupper Oxide (CuO) into the engine oil as suspended particl

The NTCP p.Ser267Phe Variant Is Associated With a Faster Anti-HBV Effect on First-Line Nucleos(t)ide Analog Treatment

Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) acts as a cellular receptor for the hepatitis B virus infection of host hepatocytes.Previously, many studies confirmed that the NTCP p.Ser267Phe variant was Cleaners a protective factor against HBV-related disease progression.We therefore designed this study to investigate whether the NTCP p.Ser
