A simple method for the rapid quantification of cholesterol in egg yolk and milk by non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) is described in this paper. The samples were treated with saponification and then quantified by NACE, in which 100 mM sodium acetate-acetic acid in methanol was employed as the running buffer. The correlation coefficient between the cholesterol concentration and the corresponding peak area was 0.999. The detection limit of cholesterol was 5 microg/ml (twice the signal-to-noise ratio). This method can be used as a routine method for the rapid and sensitive determination of cholesterol in foods.

Despite Latin America's rich biodiversity, active genetic material conservation programs are scarce. This study investigates potential freezability markers in both sperm and seminal plasma (SP) in Chino Santandereano, a Colombian Creole breed. Thirty ejaculates from ten Chino Santandereano bulls were cryopreserved and subsequently classified as of good (GFE) or poor (PFE) freezability according to their post-thaw total sperm motility (TMOT) and plasma membrane integrity (PMI).

Oxysterols, as metabolites of cholesterol, play a key role in cholesterol homeostasis, autophagosome formation, and regulation of immune responses. Disorders in oxysterol metabolism are closely related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. To systematically investigate the profound molecular regulatory mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, it is necessary to quantify oxysterols and their metabolites in central and peripheral biospecimens simultaneously and accurately.

Dysfunction of the endo-lysosomal intracellular Cholesterol transporter 2 protein (NPC2) leads to the onset of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC), a lysosomal storage disorder. Metabolic and homeostatic mechanisms are disrupted in lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) hence we characterized a cellular model of NPC2 knock out, to assess alterations in organellar function and inter-organellar crosstalk between mitochondria and lysosomes. We performed characterization of lipid alterations and confirmed altered lysosomal morphology, but no overt changes in oxidative stress markers.

Background: Mycotoxins are considered one of the most important problems and threats that face poultry producers.
Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the pathological, hematological, and biochemical alterations in chickens fed on mycotoxins contamination ration.
Methods: 434 feed samples were collected from poultry farms operating in Babil Governorate/Iraq, where feed samples were collected over the course of 2023, and these samples were tested by direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to determine the level of mycotoxins.

Hyperlipidemia is a major contributor to metabolic complications and tissue damage, leading to conditions such as liver steatosis, atherosclerosis, and obesity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of aqueous artichoke bract extract (AE) on lipid metabolism, liver antioxidative defense, and liver steatosis in mice fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet while elucidating the underlying mechanisms. An 8-week study used hyperlipidemic mice treated with AE at daily doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg bw, compared to fenofibrate.
