Pathophysiology of elevated ascites fluid cholesterol in malignant ascites [PDF]
The existence of marked elevations of ascitic fluid cholesterol has been observed in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis compared to patients with cirrhosis and has been found useful in differential diagnosis.

Effect of a High Intake of Conjugated Linoleic Acid on Lipoprotein Levels in Healthy Human Subjects [PDF]
Background -Trans fatty acids are produced either by industrial hydrogenation or by biohydrogenation in the rumens of cows and sheep. Industrial trans fatty acids lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL ...

Influence of an atherogenic diet on the structure of swine low density lipoproteins
Five groups of three swine each were fed a basal diet supplemented with 15% tallow and either 0.0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%, or 2.5% cholesterol. The animals were studied over a period of 9 weeks to observe changes in plasma lipids and low density lipoproteins ...

In silico and in vitro exploration of a tyrosinase for biocatalytic production of catechols
Tyrosinase from Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is a promising biocatalyst for producing valuable catechols from monophenol substrates. This tyrosinase is uniquely suited to this due to its high monophenolase : diphenolase ratio. We combined in silico docking and in vivo kinetic characterisation of this tyrosinase with 11 industrially relevant monophenols,
