TL;DR: The conversion of palmitic, linoleic and dihomo-γ-linoleic acids to their metabolites and products/precursor ratios for the desaturation and elongation reactions showed that simvastatin enhanced the Δ5 desaturation step and altered some elongating steps, which could have important implication for unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in A549.
Abstract: It is well known that simvastatin affects cholesterol synthesis. Furthermore it inhibits growth and proliferation and perturbs fatty acid metabolism in some cell lines. We have studied the effects of simvastatin on the uptake and metabolism of exogenous fatty acid in the human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. Simvastatin inhibited the proliferation of A549, and caused an increment in phospholipid/cholesterol ratio due to an increment in phospholipid content without affecting cholesterol content. All the fatty acids were uptaken and metabolized in both control and treated cells. The conversion of palmitic, linoleic and dihomo-gamma-linoleic acids to their metabolites and products/precursor ratios for the desaturation and elongation reactions showed that simvastatin enhanced the Delta5 desaturation step and altered some elongating steps. The machinery for unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in A549 is quite sensitive to simvastatin and its effects could have important implication taking into account that highly unsaturated fatty acids are involved in the regulation of diverse cellular functions by themselves or through their metabolites.

TL;DR: Las variaciones experimentadas por las proteinas totales, albumina, colesterol, triacilgliceridos, urea, acido urico, y creatinina se analizaron, para lo cual se realizo la comparacion of las medias obtenidas por medio of un analisis de la varianza.
Abstract: Con el objetivo de analizar la influencia de la infeccion por el VIH y el estadio clinico de la enfermedad sobre indicadores bioquimicos del estado nutricional del individuo, se estudio un grupo de individuos infectados y clasificados en diferentes grupos clinicos, de acuerdo con los criterios propuestos en 1987 por el Centro de Control de Enfermedades de los Estados Unidos, asi como un grupo control integrado por sujetos seronegativos al VIH y clasificados antropometricamente con un estado nutricional normal. Se analizaron las variaciones experimentadas por las proteinas totales, albumina, colesterol, triacilgliceridos, urea, acido urico y creatinina, segun sexo y grupo clinico, para lo cual se realizo la comparacion de las medias obtenidas por medio de un analisis de la varianza. Al compararlos con los seronegativos, se encontro en los seropositivos asintomaticos un incremento no significativo de las proteinas totales con disminucion significativa de la albumina y la creatinina; esta ultima solo en el sexo masculino. En los pacientes del estadio IV se manifesto la disminucion mas importante del colesterol y un aumento significativo de los trigliceridos, asi como los niveles mas bajos de albumina. La urea y el acido urico no experimentaron cambios con significacion estadistica. Se recomienda la determinacion de indicadores bioquimicos en la deteccion de estados marginales de malnutricion por defecto en individuos VIH/SIDA.

TL;DR: This work showed that novel benznidazole-water-polyethylene glycol 400 solutions are active against T. cruzi in a murine model of Chagas' disease, the first demonstration on the usefulness of benznodazole solutions in infected mice.
