Objective: To investigate the effect of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) on the expressions of sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2) and hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGCR) in the macrophages derived from monocytes of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods: LDL was oxidized by Cu2+ to prepare ox-LDL, and peripheral monocytes were isolated by density gradient centrifugation from patients with ACS diagnosed by coronary arteriography. Macrophages derived from the monocytes after phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulation were treated with ox-LDL at the concentrations of 0, 20, 40, and 100 ng/ml, and the changes in the expressions of SREBP-2 and HMGCR were detected by real-time RT-PCR.
Results: Compared with the control cells, the macrophages treated with ox-LDL showed significantly increased expressions of SREBP-2 and HMGCR mRNA (P<0.05). In cells treated with ox-LDL, the expressions of SREBP-2 and HMGCR mRNA differed significantly with the dose administered (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Within a defined dose range, ox-LDL can dose-dependently enhance the expressions of SREBP-2 and HMGCR mRNA in macrophages from patients with ACS.

This study aimed to establish a hyperlipidemia model in ICR mice using a homemade high-fat diet. It further investigated hyperlipidemia-related indicators in control and model mice at various feeding durations to determine the optimal time frame for successful model establishment. Sixteen male ICR mice were introduced at intervals of 3 weeks, starting from weeks 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12.

Hyperlipidemia, a condition characterized by elevated lipid levels, presents significant cardiovascular risks. Syringaldehyde (SA), a phenolic aldehyde derived from plants, exhibits antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its potential toxicity and effects on hyperlipidemia have not been studied.

In this work, the hypolipidemic and antioxidative capacity of FSGLR (S7) and GIEWA (S10) from miiuy croaker swim bladders was explored systematically in an oleic acid (OA)-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) model of HepG2 cells. Moreover, the hypolipidemic activity of S7 and S10 and their antioxidative abilities were preliminarily investigated in combination with molecular docking technology. The results indicated that S7 and S10 could decrease the amount of lipid accumulation and the content of triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) in the OA-induced NAFLD cell model in a dose-dependent manner.

With the increasing annual production of , the residues of are mass produced and wasted every year. In order to further explore the added value and effective utilization of , we studied the lipid-lowering efficacy and liver protective effect of soluble dietary fiber in mice on high-fat diet. Project team from extracted soluble dietary fiber, and its physicochemical properties, selected 30 male mice, randomly divided into normal group (N), high fat diet group (F), add low dose dietary fiber high fat diet (FL), add medium dose dietary fiber high fat diet group (FM), add high dose dietary fiber high fat diet group (FH) five groups.
