Hamster hepatocytes, like human hepatocytes, secrete triacylglycerol (TAG) as very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in association with apolipoprotein (apo) B100, whereas in the rat, TAG is secreted predominantly in association with apoB48. Nevertheless, in hepatocytes from both species, a minimum of between 60% and 70% [69.1±1.4% (hamster), 60.6±2.5% (rat)] of the VLDL TAG was secreted following lipolysis and re-esterification of intracellular TAG. The fractional rates of hepatocellular TAG turnover (lipolysis and re-esterification) were similar in both species [1.83±0.28 pools/24 h (hamster), 1.39±0.23 pools/24 h (rat)]. Comparison of the relative changes in the 3H and 14C specific radioactivities of the VLDL and cellular TAG, pre-labelled with [3H]glycerol and [4C]oleate, suggested that fatty acids released by lipolysis either were recruited directly into a VLDL assembly pool or were recycled to the cellular pool following re-esterification. Recycling in the hamster was somewhat greater than in the rat (66.1±5.7% versus 53.7±4.8% of TAG lipolysed respectively). Similarly, a larger proportion of newly synthesized TAG was retained within the cell, rather than secreted as VLDL, in the hamster compared with the rat (37.9±2.8% versus 20±3.8%, P< 0.01). These factors may have contributed to the somewhat lower rate of VLDL TAG secretion in the hamster hepatocytes compared with those from the rat (43.3±4.2 versus 96.4±3.4 µg/24 h per mg of cell protein). Rat hepatocytes were more sensitive to inhibition of VLDL secretion by insulin than were those from hamster. In neither case did insulin affect total or fractional TAG turnover. The results suggest that assembly of both apoB100 VLDL and apoB48 VLDL is associated with efficient intracellular TAG lipolysis.

SummaryHuman plasma lipoprotein fractions were prepared by flotation in the ultracentrifuge. Addition of these fractions to platelet-rich, platelet-poor and platelet-free plasma affected the partial thromboplastin and Stypven clotting times to various degrees. Addition of high density lipoprotein (HDL) to platelet-poor and platelet-free plasma shortened both the partial thromboplastin and the Stypven time, whereas addition of low density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein (LDL + VLDL) fractions only shortened the Stypven time. The additions had little or no effect in platelet-rich plasma.Experiments involving the addition of anti-HDL antibodies to plasmas with different platelet contents and measuring of clotting times produced results that were in good agreement with those noted when lipoprotein was added. The relation between structure and the clot-promoting activity of various phospholipid components is discussed.

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of turmeric and ginger on lipid profile of male rats exposed to oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide H2O2 at a concentration of 1% given with consumed drinking water to male rats. Methods: 200 mg/kg from turmeric and ginger were used, and the animals were treatment for 30 days. Results: the results showed a significant increase in cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), whereas it explained a significant decrease in high density lipoprotein (HDL) of male rats exposed to oxidative stress when compared with control group. the results showed a significant decrease in cholesterol, triglycerides, (LDL), (VLDL), whereas it explained a significant increase in (HDL) of rats treated with turmeric and ginger at dose 200 mg/kg when compared with male rats exposed to oxidative stress.
