Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α polymorphisms and postprandial lipemia in healthy men
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that plays a key role in lipid and glucose homeostasis. This study evaluated whether variants of PPARα are associated with postprandial lipemia. Subjects were

Statin's role on blood pressure levels: Meta‐analysis based on randomized controlled trials
Statins have been proven to be effective in minimizing the risk of cardiovascular adverse events, however, their effect on BP variability is debatable with respect to their significance and their use as a potential anti‐hypertensive.

Thin-layer electrophoresis of serum lipoproteins
A method is described for semiquantitative study of serum lipoproteins, with particular reference to the very low density fractions involved in transport of triglycerides. Serum samples were subjected to electrophoresis in thin layers of starch granules;

The subject of arteriosclerosis has received much attention of late, both in its pathologic and in its clinical aspects. There has been a growing tendency to attribute symptoms, particularly nervous symptoms, to this condition. In a person offering almost any syndrome of symptoms referable to the nervous system, the mere presence of sclerotic arteries
