Nutritional regulation of cholesterol synthesis and apolipoprotein B kinetics: studies in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and normal subjects treated with a high carbohydrate, low fat diet.

High carbohydrate, low fat diets decrease plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (apoB) mass in normal subjects and in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).To investigate the mechanisms for these effects, four normal, four FH heterozygous, and one FH homozygous subjects were studied on a basal (45% carbo

Systolic Aspects of Black Hole Entropy

We attempt to provide a mesoscopic treatment of the origin of black hole entropy in (3 + 1)-dimensional spacetimes.We ascribe this entropy to the non-trivial topology of the space-like sections Σ of the horizon.This is not forbidden by topological censorship, since all the known energy inequalities needed to PULSE SNSR prove the spherical topo
