In the present study, the reliability of Jung-Biggs-Moorhead method for cholesterol determination has been tested in the presence of another steroid, ergosterol. It was observed that presence of ergosterol interferes with the absorbance measurement of cholesterol. When both steroids are present in the sample maximum absorption wavelength are not shifted by the mutual interaction but absorbance values are changed considerably. Therefore this method may be used only for qualitative bu not quantitative analysis for cholesterol in the presence of ergosterol.

The effects of high cholesterol/high fat diet on endoplasmic reticulum stress and neuronal dysfunction in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of APOE-/- MICE Mengi, Naz; Yanık, Tülin; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2019) Hyperlipidemia is an obesity-associated lipid metabolism disorder with high serum total cholesterol (TC) levels and is known to be a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. High-fat diet (HFD) induced elevated inflammation levels accompanied by increased levels of apoptosis markers and decreased levels of synaptic proteins in the hippocampus points out a possible neuronal loss. Protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) pathway is activated by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The acti...
The Molecular investigation of the effects of simvastatin, a cholesterol reducing drug, on rat sciatic nerve tissue Badem Özgün, Kumsal; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2017) Simvastatin is a lipophilic cholesterol decreasing drug, which belongs to statin group. It is previously known that the long-term usage of this drug cause peripheric neuropathy, mononeuropathy and memory problems. However, the molecular effects of this drug on nerve system remain unclear. In the present study, the simvastatin-induced changes on rat sciatic nerve tissue were investigated at molecular level by Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) Spectroscopy. ATR-FTIR spectroscop...
The association between metabolic syndrome and its components with systemic lupus erythematosus: a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies Hallajzadeh, J.; Khoramdad, M.; Izadi, N.; Karamzad, N.; Almasi-Hashiani, A.; Ayubi, E.; Qorbani, M.; Pakzad, R.; Sullman, M. J. M.; Safiri, S. (2018-05-01) Objectives: Based upon inflammatory-related factors in chronic systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as well as the long-term prescription of corticosteroids, metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence is expected to be higher in SLE patients than among those without SLE. The aim of this study was to systematically analyze: (1) the worldwide prevalence of MetS in patients with SLE using different criteria, (2) the risk of MetS in patients with SLE compared with those without SLE, and (3) the risk of MetS component ...
PREPARATION OF ELECTROSPUN COATED THIN FILM EXTRACTION DEVICES FOR DETERMINATION OF CLINICALLY IMPORTANT ENDOGENOUS COMPOUNDS IN BIO-FLUIDS TEMEL, Ezgi Rana; Boyacı, Ezel; Department of Chemistry (2022-12-22) Changes in plasma concentrations of endogenous compounds such as cholesterol and steroid hormones may cause many vital problems threatening human life. Therefore, the development of novel rapid and reliable analytical methods for the quantitative determination of clinically important compounds in biofluids is of great importance. Coated blade spray (CBS), a technique which is based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME), consists of a sword like device which acts as an extractive tool for sampling and sample...
A Bayesian Estimation Framework for Pharmacogenomics Driven Warfarin Dosing: A Comparative Study Oztaner, Serdar Murat; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Erdem, S. Remzi; ÖZER, Mahmut (2015-09-01) The incorporation of pharmacogenomics information into the drug dosing estimation formulations has been shown to increase the accuracy in drug dosing and decrease the frequency of adverse drug effects in many studies in the literature. In this paper, an estimation framework based on the Bayesian structural equation modeling, which is driven by pharmacogenomics, is proposed. The results show that the model compares favorably with the linear models in terms of prediction and explaining the variations in warfa...
