Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholestrol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratios are predictors of cardiovascular risk in Iranian adults: Evidence from a population-based cross-sectional study
Background: The superiority of TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios in predicting CVD risk is a matter of debates. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare TG/HDL-C and LDL-C to HDL-C ratios in predicting the risk of CVD events. Methods: In a population-based cross-sectional study, 567 representative participants aged 40 years or older were entered in the study in Babol, North of Iran. The...
متن کاملThe Effect of ? -Tocopherol on Copper Binding to Low Density Lipoprotein
The oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) may play an important role in atherogenesis. Antioxidants that can prevent LDL oxidation may act as antiatherogens. Our understanding of the mechanism of LDL oxidation and factors that determine its susceptibility to oxidation is still incomplete. Copper is a candidate for oxidizing LDL in atherosclerotic lesions. The binding of copper...

متن کاملLow-density lipoprotein lowering and atherosclerosis progression: does more mean less?
Statins (hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A [HMGCoA] reductase inhibitors) have been shown to significantly reduce cardiovascular clinical events in a variety of patient categories, ranging from patients with established cardiovascular disease to those at risk for cardiovascular disease.1–6 Clinical benefits of statin therapy have also been shown across a wide range of pretreatment cholesterol an...
متن کاملEffects of Vitamin E and Volatile Oils on the Susceptibility of Low-Density Lipoprotein to Oxidative Modification
Antioxidant consumption has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. To clarify the possible role of vitamin E and volatile oils in the prevention of atherosclerosis, the effects of these compounds on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidative modification were investigated. In this study, vitamin E and seven volatile oils “an...
