Article Synopsis
- Transgenic mice expressing human apolipoprotein A-II (hapoA-II) exhibit key traits of metabolic syndrome, including high triglyceride levels and low HDL levels.
- Hypertriglyceridemia in these mice is caused by the inhibition of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase functions due to hapoA-II present on triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs).
- The study demonstrated that the presence of hapoA-II affects the clearance of TRLs from the plasma, resulting in their accumulation, which is linked to postprandial hypertriglyceridemia.
Background: Altered expression of cytokines has been suggested as a specific event for the maintenance and progression of endometriomas. Few data exist on cytokine expression in endometriomas compared with benign and malignant ovarian tumours. Hence, serum and cyst fluid levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were evaluated in women with endometriomas and compared with those in women with benign or malignant ovarian tumours.
