Serum lipids and Jipoprotein levels were determined in 35 schizophrenics treated with Phenothiazine, 30 with butyrophenone and 22 with both drugs for six to twelve months. Total cholesterol, VLD L — cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels were significantly elevated in patients on phenothiazine and LDL cholesterol in patients on butyrophenone. VLD L and LD L — cholesterol levels were significant...

Adult cardiovascular disease has its roots in childhood, Various surveys have shown a significant correlation between early atherosclerotic changes indentified at autopsy of children and young adults, and both total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol) levels. The hypercholesterolemic neonates time for diagnosis of high risk neonate infants. The aim of this study is to...

BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a common chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disorder characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and infiltration of T cells, monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils into dermal and epidermal layers of the skin. The prevalence of cardiovascular disorders in these patients is remarkably higher compared to normal individuals, which seems to be associated with t...

A prospective study of autopsy-determined measures of atherosclerosis In aortas and coronary and cerebral arteries was completed for a group of 83 men who were free of clinical cardiovascular disease and cancer when they entered the Cooperative Lipoproteln Phenotyplng Study In 1970. Total cholesterol minus high density llpoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly associated with measures o...

We studied the alterations in the concentrations of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and apoproteins A and B in serum of 54 patients hospitalized for various reasons, who developed sepsis during their stay. Forty of these patients required intensive care, 14 did not. Another group of patients with the same underlying pathological conditions was used as a c...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of good glycemic control on serum lipids levels and lipid peroxidation, and to find out the relationship between the level of malondialdehyde and HbA1c in type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty type 2 diabetic patients aged 40-60 years with the history of diabetes for more than 10 years were studied. Glycemic control was stable...

The proclivity of men to coronary artery disease has been recognized for almost 2 centuries. The gonadal hormones have understandably come under scrutiny in the search for the explanation of this marked sex difference in susceptibility to disease. Sex hormnones are known to alter the physical state of the serum lipids. It has been suggested that eunuchs suffer a less severe form of coronary ath...

Dyslipidemia is found to be associated with the initiation and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Modifications of lipoproteins by glycation and oxidation and the variations in the size distributions of lipoprotein particles are not reflected in conventional lipid profiles. This study was conducted to know if the measurements of apolipoprotein AI (apo AI) and apolipoprotein B (apo B) may...

Serum highand low-density lipoproteins were spread between heptane and phosphate buffer. The cholesterol from both protein films became completely soluble in the heptane phase. Other neutral lipids were also found in the heptane, but phospholipids could not be detected. Shaking of whole serum or isolated lipoproteins with heptane resulted in only slight extraction of cholesterol by the fat solv...
