conclusions it can be concluded that tempol can improve dyslipidemia and may decrease hyperglycemia in diabetes. it seems that antioxidants such as tempol can improve dyslipidemia and may decrease hyperglycemia in diabetes. results the blood glucose level increased following diabetes induction. the level of blood glucose in the diabetic receiving tempol group decreased compared to the control d...

the intake of antioxidants intake has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. to clarify the possible role of lipophilic antioxidants in prevention of atherosclerosis, we investigated the effects of lycopene on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (ldl) to oxidative modification. in this study, “lycopene” was added to plasma and incubated...

Measures of socioeconomic status have been shown to be related positively to levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in white men and women and negatively in African American men. However, there is little information regarding the association between educational attainment and HDL fractions or apolipoproteins. The authors examined these associations in 9,407 white and 2,664 African...

A study on 205 pairs of male and females twins, aged from 18 to 34 years. showed significant heritabilities for total and high density lipoprotein cholesterol and for triglycerides. Significant effects of shared environment were also found for total and HDL cholesterol, possibly to a greater extent in women than in men. Triglycerides showed greater variance in men but a model specifying differe...

background: dyslipidemia is considered an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (chd). in the present study, we examined lipid profiles and paraoxonase 1 (pon1) activity and atherogenic indexes status and the relationship of pon1 activity by high-density lipoprotein (hdl) and atherogenic indexes in chd patients and healthy people. methods: the aim of the study was to compare pon1, ...

Through high coverage whole-genome sequencing and imputation of the identified variants into a large fraction of the Icelandic population, we found four independent signals in the low density lipoprotein receptor gene (LDLR) that associate with levels of non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Two signals are novel with respect to association with...
