Vitamin C and COVID-19
Corona disease has killed at least 5 million people globally since it started in Wuhan, China in December 2019 (World Health Organization, 2021). The disease is caused by SARS-COVID-19, and is transmitted from person to person by respiratory droplets (Baladia et al., 2020, Ejaz et al., 2020). Although the early symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, weariness, headache, sore throat, cough, d...
متن کاملLDL-C/HDL-C Ratio Predicts Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Progression Better Than HDL-C or LDL-C Alone
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are strong predictors of atherosclerosis. Statin-induced changes in the ratio of LDL-C to HDL-C (LDL-C/HDL-C) predicted atherosclerosis progression better than LDL-C or HDL-C alone. However, the best predictor of subclinical atherosclerosis remains unknown. Our objective was to investigate this issue by...
متن کاملImplication of Low HDL-c Levels in Patients with Average LDL-c Levels: A Focus on Oxidized LDL, Large HDL Subpopulation, and Adiponectin
To evaluate the impact of low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) on patients with LDL-c average levels, focusing on oxidative, lipidic, and inflammatory profiles. Patients with cardiovascular risk factors (n = 169) and control subjects (n = 73) were divided into 2 subgroups, one of normal HDL-c and the other of low HDL-c levels. The following data was analyzed: BP, BMI, wais...
متن کاملAssociation between LDL-C, Non HDL-C, and Apolipoprotein B Levels with Coronary Plaque Regression
BACKGROUND Previous reports have inferred a linear relationship between LDL-C and changes in coronary plaque volume (CPV) measured by intravascular ultrasound. However, these publications included a small number of studies and did not explore other lipid markers. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between changes in lipid markers and regression of CPV using published data. METHODS We colle...

Increment of lipoprotein(a) [LP(a)] Concentration, as a coronary artery disease risk factor. Probably LP(a) not been affected by physical activity and it is resistant against exercise stimulation. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine and compare of LP(a) concentration in selected groups. This analytical study was designed in three groups of subjects (15-25 yrs) who were volunt...
