TL;DR: A role for ACBP is suggested in the partitioning of fatty acids between esterification reactions leading to the formation of neutral lipids and β-oxidation, and ACBP may play a regulatory role by influencing this important branch point in intermediary lipid metabolism.

TL;DR: Carnitine acetyltransferase was unaffected by the treatment of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (lovastatin), whereas there was a significant increase in the activity of CPT in the liver and heart.

TL;DR: It is evident that there is a critical lack of harmonization in laboratory reference intervals, particularly for the pediatric population, as well as pediatric and adult reference intervals currently used in clinical practice across Canada.

TL;DR: Standardized cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, determined in multiple large epidemiological and clinical studies, have been instrumental to the National Cholesterol Education Program panels that have assessed the lipoprotein values associated with risk of coronary disease, and have determined the cutpoints that are now used extensively by physicians to guide diagnosis and treatment of individual patients.

TL;DR: It is concluded that these steroids may contribute to DLIS as isolated from hypertensive patients, but it is unlikely that they would be of physiological significance in the etiology of EH unless they were to accumulate and act synergistically within vascular wall smooth muscle tissues.
