Journal ArticleDOI

Direct assessment of plasma low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and coronary heart disease: Results from the Framingham Offspring Study

Seiko Otokozawa, +8 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: Direct assays for both LDL-C and HDL-C provide an acceptable guide for lipid treatment in Framingham Offspring Study participants, and despite higher use of cholesterol-lowering medication in CHD cases, calculated or direct LDL-B values were still well above recommended values in ChD cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diurnal and photoperiodic changes in thyrotrophin-stimulating hormone β expression and associated regulation of deiodinase enzymes (DIO2, DIO3) in the female juvenile chicken hypothalamus.

Ian C. Dunn, +6 more
- 01 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: Plasma prolactin concentrations revealed both an effect of LPs and time‐of‐day, suggesting that TSHβ expression cycles in a diurnal pattern irrespective of photoperiod.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ovodefensins, an Oviduct Specific Antimicrobial Gene Family Have Evolved in Birds and Reptiles to Protect the Egg by Both Sequence and Intra Six Cysteine Sequence Motif Spacing

Natasha Whenham, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: The hypothesis that ovodefensins evolved to protect the egg, but they are not necessarily restricted to the egg white is supported, and divergent motif structure and sequence present an interesting area of research for antimicrobial peptide design and understanding protection of the cleidoic egg.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in reproductive neuroendocrine mRNAs with decreasing ovarian function in ageing hens.

N. A. Ciccone, +3 more
- 01 Oct 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that the decrease in the rate of lay in ageing broiler breeders is not correlated with decreased GnRH-I mRNA nor with increased GnIH mRNA, but it is related to a decrease in alpha-subunit mRNA which may account for the associated reduction in plasma LH but not FSH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diet and plasma lipids in women. II. Macronutrients and plasma triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, and the ratio of total to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in women: the Framingham nutrition studies.

Lillian Sonnenberg, +8 more
- 01 Jun 1996 - 
TL;DR: Since dietary fat and alcohol do not appear to have consistent effects on plasma lipids in all groups of women, it is important to consider the genetic contribution to diet/lipid relationships in epidemiological studies and when evaluating lipid-lowering interventions.
