LP

Limited Partnership

A business model in which at least one general partner and at least one limited partner share a business' ownership. In a limited partnership, the general partner does not usually make invest any capital, but has management authority and unlimited liability. That is, the general partner runs the business and, in the event of bankruptcy, is responsible for all debts not paid or discharged. The limited partners have no management authority and confine their participation to their capital investment. That is, limited partners invest a certain amount of money and have nothing else to do with the business. However, their liability is limited to the amount of the investment. In the worst case scenario for a limited partner, he/she loses what he/she invested. Profits are divided between general and limited partners according to an arrangement formed at the creation of the partnership.

According to the results of dyadic comparison tests, the eight-week aerobic exercises has had a positive and significant impact on the rate of total cholesterol, blood sugar, low density lipoprotein and the ratio of high density lipoprotein to low density lipoprotein and it hadn't have a significant effect on the concentration of triglyceride, high density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein; but by comparing the empirical and control groups through independent t test, after the empirical group did the exercises, except for low density cholesterol, no significant difference was seen in any of the research variables among these two groups.

While glucocorticoids are known to have pleiotropic actions on physiological and pathological processes, lipoprotein responses and homoeostasis are varied, but are potentially atherogenic (Table 1).

Conclusions: Lectin-like oxidised low density lipoprotein receptor was implicated in the expression of tissue factor induced by oxidised low density lipoprotein, and beta (2)-Glycoprotein I expressed in Pichia pastoris inhibited oxidised low density lipoprotein-induced tissue factor and lectin-like oxidised low density lipoprotein receptor expression, at least in part, via inhibition of the interaction between oxidised low density lipoprotein and lectin-like oxidised low density lipoprotein receptor.
