introduction: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) secondary to sulfur mustard gas poisoning, known as mustard lung, is a major late pulmonary complications in chemical warfare patients. serious comorbidities like dyslipidemia are frequently encountered in copd. the aim of this study was to measure the serum lipid profile and evaluate the relation of lipid parameters with the severity o...

We evaluated in a double-blind randomized trial with a double-dummy design in 28 patients with primary hypertriglyceridemia, the effect of gemfibrozil (1200 mg/day) versus Omacor (4 g/day), a drug containing the n-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), on lipid and lipoprotein levels, low density lipoprotein (LDL) subfraction profile and LDL oxidizability. Both Oma...

conclusions these results demonstrate that the hypolipidemic and antioxidative effects of aqueous extract of e. caryophyllus might be due to its ability to ameliorate lipid profiles, enhance antioxidant activities, and delay the lipid peroxidation process. this confirms the previously identified protective roles of e. caryophyllus in human health. background eugenia caryophyllus (clove) is an i...

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was evaluating the relationship between maternal serum lipid measured at 13-23 weeks of pregnancy and subsequent glucose intolerance. Materials and Methods: In a prospective study, 624 pregnant women prior to 23 weeks were eligible for the study. Primarily, serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride were ...
