[Genetically determined lipid metabolism disorders due to oral intake of technogenic hyperchlorination products]
Abstract:
The study covered genetically determined lipid metabolism disorders due to oral intake of technogenic hyperchlorination drinkable water products. Findings are that overweight and obese children in a main group appeared to have serum chloroform level 2.3 times higher than that in a reference group. In oral intake of hyperchlorination drinkable water products, the study revealed main genes having polymorphism associated with endocrine disorders: overweight and obesity--APOE, PPARG, HTR2A, characterizing antioxidant system state--SOD2 and detoxication--SULTA. Polymorphism of candidate genes HTR2A and SOD2 was characterized by increased occurrence of mutant homo-- and heterozygous genotype, relative risk of pathologic allele presence in population exceeded the refrence group values. Probability of increased serum serotonin and lower Cu/Zn in children with mutant homozygous genotype HTR2A and SOD2 is 1.2-1.3 times higher than in those with heterozygous and normal homozygous genotypes.

Lipolysis: The Breakdown of Lipids:
Lipolysis is the process of breaking down lipids, particularly triglycerides, into glycerol and fatty acids. This process typically occurs in the adipose tissue and is triggered by various hormones, including glucagon and...

Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...
