[Effects of APOC3 polymorphisms on the plasma lipids in healthy adolescents with different body mass index].

Objective: To investigate the possible effects of apolipoprotein C I gene (APOC3) polymorphisms on plasma lipids in healthy adolescents with different body mass index (BMI).

Methods: Seven hundred and twenty three adolescents were divided into four groups according to BMI: group 1 CBMI= (17.80 +/- 0.

[The association study of the LIPC -250g/A polymorphism and high-carbohydrate/low-fat diet induced serum lipid and apolipoprotein concentration changes in healthy youth].

Objective: To investigate the role of the - 250G/A polymorphism in the promoter region of hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) on serum lipid profile and its interactions with a high-carbohydrate/low-fat (HC/LF) diet on serum lipid profiles in a young healthy Chinese population.

Methods: After a stabilization diet for seven days, fifty-six young healthy subjects (27 males, 29 females) were given the HC/LF diet for six days. The serum lipid profiles were analyzed of the twelve-hour fasting venous blood samples collected in the mornings of the first, the eighth and the fourteenth days.

A high-carbohydrate diet effects on the A allele of hepatic lipase polymorphism on the apoB100/apoAI ratio in young Chinese males.

Background: Diet induces changes in plasma lipid profiles, and the plasma lipid profiles vary among different genetic backgrounds.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate how a high-carbohydrate (high-CHO) diet interacts with hepatic lipase G-250A promoter polymorphism to affect the ratios of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins (apo) in a young Chinese population.

Material And Methods: Experiments were conducted on 56 university students.

A high carbohydrate diet induces the beneficial effect of the CC genotype of hepatic lipase C-514T polymorphism on the apoB100/apoAI ratio only in young Chinese males.

Both diet and genetic background have profound effects on plasma lipid profiles. It was hypothesized that a high carbohydrate (high-CHO) diet could affect the ratios of serum lipids and apolipoproteins (apo) differently in subjects with different genotypes of the C-514T hepatic lipase rs1800588 polymorphism. Fifty-six healthy university students were given a stabilization diet of 54.

[Effects of a high-carbohydrate diet on the serum lipid and apolipoprotein ratios in healthy young adults with different genotypes of APOA1 -75 G/A polymorphism].

Objective: To investigate the effects of a high-carbohydrate diet on the lipid and apolipoprotein ratios in healthy young adults with different genotypes of the polymorphism at -75 site in the promoter region of the gene of apolipoprotein AI (APOA1).

Methods: Fifty-six subjects aged (22.89 +/- 1.

[Effects of a low-fat and high-carbohydrate diet on the physiological and biochemical indices in healthy youth with different body mass index].

Objective: To investigate the effects of a low-fat and high-carbohydrate (LF-HC) diet on the physiological and biochemical indexes in healthy youth with different body mass index (BMI).

Methods: Seven overweight participants [BMI=(27.82 +/- 1.

Osmolyte-induced transcription: -35 region elements and recognition by sigma38 (rpoS).

In order to meet osmotic challenges in the gastrointestinal tract, enteric bacteria rapidly accumulate salts of glutamate and other weak organic acids. The ensuing transcriptional activation is mediated by unknown elements at sigma38 (rpoS)-dependent promoters. Here we identify DNA elements needed for high levels of transcription in the presence of salt and acetate and show that they are associated with the -35 regions of target promoters.
