THE profound changes in the serum lipids resulting from estrogen administration to men and women with coronary heart disease have been documented in several laboratories.1-6 But these presumably "favorable " alterations have been offset by undesirable estrogenic side-effects, especially in middle-aged men.3'4 Among many measures suggested to avoid the side-effects, including very low estrogen d...

Ninety-six patients were observed at intervals for as long as three and one-half years in some cases. In most instances multiple determinations were made during this time using the electrophoretic pattern of the proteins before and after cold ether extraction (McFarlane method), to measure lipid transport. Hyperlipemia usually produced an increased in beta globulin. A varying decrease in albumi...

Insulin, C-Peptide and HOMA-IR Mean fasting insulin concentrations were significantly higher in offspring of BDP as compared to those of NDP but no statistically significant difference in mean insulin concentration was found between NDP and ODP groups. The insulin resistance as assessed by HOMA-IR was markedly higher in the ODP and BDP group as compared to the control group (Tables 2 and 3). Th...

there are many evidences that human serum paraoxonase activity modifies plasma lipid profile and paraoxonase has an antiatherogenic property. non-selective beta-blockers affect plasma lipid profile too, but they have atherogenic property when patients take these drugs in long term. in this study the effect of propranolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, on paraoxonase activity was investigated. l...
