Abstract

Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis an polyneuritis were caused in male rats of 2.5-3.0 kg body mass of the Shinshilla strain by means of administration into the foot of the animals pads of homogenous basic protein myelin from bovine spinal cord and myelin from bovine sciatic nerve as a mixture containing complete Freund's adjuvant. In the impaired rabbits total fraction of beta- and pre-beta-lipoproteins as well as content of cholesterol and triglycerides were increased in blood. Antibodies against the basic protein myelin were not found in blood of the animals with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, whereas the titres of these antibodies were increased in the animals with experimental allergic polyneuritis. Complex formation of antibodies with beta- or pre beta-lipoproteins appears to take place in blood of the animals.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
