Administration of simvastatin (80 mg/kg, po. evening dose) and gemfibrozil (600 mg/kg, po twice) for 30 days produced significant decrease in the level of reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase and increase in the level of lipid peroxidation and various serum parameters (creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, creatinine, urea and b...

Studies in experimental arteriosclerosis have indicated that the relative level of serum lipid phosphorus may be as significant a factor as the absolute level of serum cholesterol in the production of arterial lesions. For this reason, the serum lipid pattern of 82 patients with coronary arteriosclerosis has been compared with that of 112 healthy adults. An elevation of the serum cholesterol, s...

Introduction Considering the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in our country and the importance of blood lipid profile as a protective factor, aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on lipid profile in children 10 to 14 years.Materials and Methods In this controlled clinical trial study, 40 children who were studying on 2014 in Birjand elementary sch...

There is a burgeoning focus on the relation between serum cholesterol levels and psychiatric disorders, including depression and other anxiety disorders (1,2). Information about the relation between serum lipid levels and sleep disorders is relatively limited in the psychiatric literature. In a previous study, we found that serum cholesterol level was higher in patients with recurrent panic att...

The present study was undertaken to study the free radical activity in malaria patients suffering from plasmodium falciparum (n=14) and plasmodium vivax (n=21) against the healthy control subjects (n=25). Lipid peroxidation was assessed by measuring serum lipid peroxide in both groups of malaria patients by using Malondialdehyde as standard. The serum Ceruloplasmin is also studied along with se...

Background: Aging in men causes a gradual decline in endogenous testosterone levels, which may have detrimental effects on their health status. Testosterone deficiency is thought to promote atherosclerosis by modulating lipid metabolism. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the serum testosterone level and its correlation with lipid profile in men aged ≥60 years old. Methods: All el...
