Plasma triglyceride metabolism in thyroid disease

Zinc metabolism in thyroid disease.

This study was designed to evaluate the zinc metabolism in adults of both sexes with thyroid disease. Plasma and erythrocyte zinc concentration and urinary zinc excretion were investigated. The mean concentration of plasma zinc in hypothyroid patients and in euthyroid patients, previously either hyperthyroid or hypothyroid, was lower than that of control subjects, whereas no statistically signi...

Plasma triglyceride and coronary heart disease.

Although the literature on epidemiological associations between plasma triglyceride and CHD is not completely consistent, trends do emerge from the studies described here. First, the majority of observational studies demonstrate a significant univariate relation, although the results of case-control and cross-sectional studies are more uniform than those from prospective study designs. In many ...

Plasma Triglyceride Concentration

Ischemic heart disease is caused by a combination of and interaction between a number of genetic and environmental factors. In a study of a group of healthy men from the United Kingdom, such an interaction was identified between the levels of plasma triglycerides and genetic variation determining plasma levels of factor VII, a clotting factor that is associated with risk of ischemic heart disea...
