β-Lipotropin is a 90-amino acid polypeptide that is the carboxy-terminal fragment of POMC.It was initially reported to stimulate melanocytes to produce melanin.It was also reported to perform lipid-mobilizing functions such as lipolysis [1] and steroidogenesis.
Feline arterial thromboembolism (FATE syndrome) (German: Feline arterielle Thromboembolie) is a disease of the domestic cat in which blood clots block arteries, causing severe circulatory problems. Relative to the total number of feline patients, the disease is rare, but relatively common in cats with heart disease: about one-sixth of cats with ...
Currently, there is a clinical study recruiting abetalipoproteinemia patients to study inherited retinal degenerative disease. [27] There is also a second clinical study, currently under recruitment, to investigate the consequences of deficiencies in lipophilic nutrients in this disease, such as lutein and carotenes, on retinal macular function ...
The erythrocytic disease is not as important for clinical disease, but is often used to diagnose C. felis because piroplasms (erythrocytes that have phagocytized merozoites) can be seen on a peripheral blood smear under the microscope. [4] It is not clear why some cats become clinically affected with C. felis while others
This process sequesters cholesterol ester into the core of a lipoprotein particle, eventually making the newly synthesized HDL spherical and forcing the reaction to become unidirectional since the particles are removed from the surface. The enzyme is bound to high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) (alpha-LCAT) and LDLs (beta-LCAT) in the blood plasma ...
Hypoalphalipoproteinemia is a high-density lipoprotein deficiency, inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. [1] ... (Tangier disease) [3] HDLCQ2 607053: 8q23 HDLCQ3 ...
The disease begins when the cat stops eating from a loss of appetite, forcing the liver to convert body fat into usable energy. Feline lower urinary tract disease is a term that is used to cover many problems of the feline urinary tract, including stones and cystitis. The term feline urologic syndrome is an older term which is still sometimes ...
Apolipoprotein B is the primary apolipoprotein of chylomicrons, VLDL, Lp(a), IDL, and LDL particles (LDL—commonly known as "bad cholesterol" when in reference to both heart disease and vascular disease in general), which is responsible for carrying fat molecules , including cholesterol, around the body to all cells within all tissues. While ...
