TL;DR: The results show the possibility of obtaining information on internal bone structure and composition in vivo through assessment of the waveforms obtained by a time‐resolution system in the near infrared region.

TL;DR: Findings confirm that the alteration of PC by PLA2 hydrolysis is intrinsically involved in the intestinal lipid absorption process and suggest that PC and its hydrolysates are coordinately associated with not only lipid absorption efficiency but also lipoprotein output and metabolism.

TL;DR: Treatment to reduce the level of serum triglycerides, but not that of cholesterol, may have a beneficial effect for improving insulin resistance even in the non-obese subjects with IGT and decreasing the risk of coronary heart disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed a trans-intestinal cholesterol efflux (TICE) assay, which directly detects circulation-to-intestinal lumen 3H-cholesterol transit in a cannulated jejunal segment, and found an increase of TICE by 45%.

TL;DR: Serum thyroid hormone concen_trations in patients with chronic renal failure are usually low, despite normal serum TSH levels, so the effect on thyroid hormone assays of serum dialysable organic acids that are elevated in uraemic patients is investigated.
