Effect of natural honey on lowering lipid profile
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the available evidence of natural honey and its effect on improving lipid profiles among the adult population and found that honey was associated with a statistically significant increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels.

Method to increase the antioxidant activity of chocolate
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel method for conching chocolate, whereby a chocolate mass is submitted to a conching method that comprises the following steps: - a dry conching step performed at a temperature of between 50°C and 70°C, and subsequent a wet conching stage performed at an intermediate temperature between 60°C to 110°C.

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.
