Within the grant project patients with familial hyperlipoproteinaemias have been examined. The examination was performed in the oldest lipid clinic and research laboratory in the world. The classification of lipid metabolism disorders was based upon a detailed biochemical analysis of plasma lipids including electrophoresis and assessment of apolipoprotein levels. Then optimal treatment regimen could be established. The project was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different treatment regimens in different types of hyperlipoproteinaemias. Biochemical parameters and mainly the impact of treatment of hyperlipoproteinaemia on morphology and function of the vessel wall was monitored. The non-invasive ultrasound measurement of the intima thickness of carotid arteries was used. For more precise diagnosis of genetically determined disorders of lipid metabolism a large scale of methods of molecular biology was introduced. These methods enable confirmation of familial hypercholesterolaemia, familial defective apolipoprotein B-100 or studying polymorphism of apolipoprotein E. The effort of the authors of the project was to maximally utilise the results of basic and applied research in formulating recommendations for everyday practice of physicians.

For noninvasive light-based physiological monitoring, optimal wavelengths of individual tissue components can be identified using absorption spectroscopy. However, because of the lack of sensitivity of hardware at longer wavelengths, absorption spectroscopy has typically been applied for wavelengths in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) range from 400 to 1,000 nm. Hardware advancements in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) range have enabled investigators to explore wavelengths in the ~1,000 nm to 3,000 nm range in which fall characteristic absorption peaks for lipid, protein, and water.

Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (XZD) is widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore the pharmacological effects and molecular mechanisms of XZD in improving hyperlipidemia and to provide a theoretical framework for clinical application. In this study, the signaling pathways regulated by XZD in improving hyperlipidemia were predicted by network pharmacology.

The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which is increasingly being recognized as a leading cause of chronic liver pathology globally, is increasing. The pathophysiological underpinnings of its progression, which is currently under active investigation, involve oxidative stress. Human adipose tissue, an integral endocrine organ, secretes an array of adipokines that are modulated by dietary patterns and lifestyle choices.

Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) are an important class of nutrients and are involved in lipid metabolism. The positions of the C=C bond and cis-trans isomerism have a significant influence on their physiological activity. However, simultaneously detecting these two structural properties has been challenging due to multiple isomers of MUFA.

The excessive accumulation of intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) in the liver is a risk factor for metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. IHTG can excessively accumulate owing to imbalances in the delivery, synthesis, storage and disposal of fat to, in and from the liver. Although obesity is strongly associated with IHTG accumulation, emerging evidence suggests that the composition of dietary fat, in addition to its quantity, plays a role in mediating IHTG accumulation.
