BACKGROUND Altered levels of erythrocyte Na+K+-ATPase, atherogenic and anti-atherogenic lipid metabolites have been implicated in diabetic complications but their pattern of interactions remains poorly understood.This study evaluated this relationship in Nigerian patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. METHODS A total of 34 consented Type 1 diabetic patients and age -matched 27 non-diabetic c...

This paper presents a proof of Stirling's formula using Haar wavelets and some properties of Hilbert space, such as Parseval's identity. The present paper shows a connection between Haar wavelets and certain sequences.

Abstract Background Low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) lowering is imperative in cardiovascular disease prevention. Effectively translating the evidence for LDL-C to maximize clinical and public health benefits depends on availability of accurate results from laboratories guide therapy. Furthermore, prior work has raised possibility that cholesterol esterase transfer protein (CETP) inhibition coul...

Current recommendations of the Adult Treatment Panel and the Children and Adolescents Treatment Panel of the National Cholesterol Education Program make the concentration of low-density lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL-C) in serum the basis for the classification and treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Numerous methodologies for the determination of serum LDL-C concentrations, in research and clini...

I n order to assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases in patients, fasting plasma lipids levels are usually measured as total cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and combined to estimate lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels using the Friedewald formula. While this indirect measure is strongly correlated with the risk of cardiovascular dise...
