Serum levels of bile salt-stimulated lipase and breast feeding.
J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab
December 2003
Objectives: Bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) is present in the sera of healthy humans, may affect lipoprotein structure and composition, and reduce atherogenicity of oxidized LDL-cholesterol. Our aims were to examine serum levels of BSSL in breast- and formula-fed infants, and explore the influence of BSSL on serum lipid profile and oxidative status.
Methods: Infants (2-8 weeks old) were prospectively enrolled.
Article Synopsis
- Diagnostic coronary angiography in patients with stable angina prompts a notable increase in systemic inflammatory markers, similar to that seen after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
- A study of 26 patients showed significant rises in C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels at 24 and 48 hours post-procedure, while tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels remained unchanged.
- Both CRP and IL-6 levels returned to baseline after 4 weeks, indicating that the inflammatory response is temporary and highlights the need to consider angiography's effects when assessing inflammation post-PCI.
Study Objective: To compare the stress response following tracheal intubation using direct laryngoscopy to that using fiberoptic bronchoscopy technique.
Design: Randomized, prospective study.
Setting: Operating rooms in a teaching hospital.
Oral insulin supplementation attenuates atherosclerosis progression in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol
January 2003
Objective: The role of insulin in atherosclerosis progression in diabetes is uncertain. We examined the effects of oral insulin supplementation on atherogenesis in apolipoprotein E-deficient (E(0)) mice.
Methods And Results: One-month-old male E(0) mice were orally supplemented with human insulin (0.
Background: One purpose of this study was to compare various biochemical and immunological parameters in blood and saliva that are routinely evaluated only in the blood for general medical requirements. Another purpose was to concomitantly compare these and other oral/salivary parameters differentially in whole, parotid, and submandibular and sublingual saliva to examine the source of those parameters and their specific concentrations.
Methods: Twelve healthy individuals (6 women, 6 men) were examined in the blood-saliva comparison study, and 30 healthy individuals (15 women, 15 men) were studied in the intersalivary comparison study.
