Achocolatados: análise química
TL;DR: Some chemical properties of chocolate drink powders from Brazilian market, such as lipid, protein, ashes, moisture, pH, theobromine and total alkaloids content of the samples were evaluated as discussed by the authors.

Antioxidant potential of quercetin: remarkable protection against hypercholesterolemia in rats.
TL;DR: Data revealed that, QE could protect against atherosclerosis by decreasing the oxidative stress state, by reducing lipid peroxides and elevating antioxidant enzymes levels.

Characterization and bioactivity of proanthocyanidins during Malay cherry (Lepisanthes alata) fruit ripening
TL;DR: In this article, the structural fingerprints of proanthocyanidins were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MOLF) analyses.

TL;DR: TB was not effective on HDL-CH in subjects with a LP phenotype characterized by low HDL- CH and high TG in VLDL, and had no effect on TG and CH in any of the HDL, V LDL and CM subclasses.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent
TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the Concentration of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Plasma, Without Use of the Preparative Ultracentrifuge
TL;DR: A method for estimating the cholesterol content of the serum low-density lipoprotein fraction (Sf0-20) is presented and comparison of this suggested procedure with the more direct procedure, in which the ultracentrifuge is used, yielded correlation coefficients of .94 to .99.

Continuous monitoring of in vitro oxidation of human low density lipoprotein.
TL;DR: The kinetics of the oxidation of human low densit) lipoprotein (LDL) can be measured continuously by monitoring the change of the 234 nm diene absorption as discussed by the authors.
