Background: Thyroid hormone has its effect in the lipid metabolism. Thus, thyroid disorder is usually associated with the dyslipidaemia. Hypercholesterolemia is an established risk factor for the cardiovascular disease (CVD) and therefore in case of overt hypothyroidism which is associated with hypercholesterolemia, CVD is most likely to occur. Objectives: controversies still persist about the ...

Cardiovascular and other blood related diseases are fast replacing communicable diseases; therefore there is need to constantly monitor our specific deleterious parameters and their associates. In this work, blood samples were collected to determine biochemical parameters: total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL C), low density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL-C), very low d...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relation between serum lipids and memory in a healthy middle age cohort of women. METHODS For 326 women in the Melbourne Women's Midlife Health Project aged 52-63 years, serum lipids were measured annually, and memory was assessed during the eighth annual visit. RESULTS There was a small but significant association between current low density lipoprotein cholesterol ...

Background: Dyslipidaemia has been implicated in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD) complications; hence its role requires further elucidation. Objectives: To investigate relationship between severity and plasma lipid levels patients with anaemia. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used for survey. total 50 anaemia controls without SCD were recruited study. The clinical d...

The strain and sex differences in serum total cholesterol (TC) levels were examined in F344 and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. A sex difference (male<female) was observed in F344 rats but not in SD rats. The strain-dependent sex difference (male<female) was also observed in the constitutive gene expression level of hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR), a rate-limiting enzyme for ...

It is believed that the cyclic variations in sex hormones across the menstrual cycle may have effects on the lipid profile and hence on cardiovascular health. Thus, the purpose of study was to find out the serum levels of lipids and lipoprotein ratios in different phases of menstrual cycle in eumenorrheic women. One hundred and twenty young healthy female subjects of reproductive age group (17-...

The effect of various extracts (50% ethanolic) of Capparis decidua on lipid profile of streptozotocin diabetic rats was studied. The extract was administered to the diabetic models for 30days. The extract produced a significant (p<0.05) dose-dependent decrease in the levels of total cholesterol (TC), Triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), with a significant...

AIMS The major aim of this study is to examine the role of alterations in lipid profile in women developing breast cancer. This study was carried out between May 2009 and December 2010. BACKGROUND The relationship between lipids and breast cancer is undistinguished. Until now, conflicting results have been reported on the association between lipids and risk of breast cancer development in wom...

We assessed the performance of seven Cholestech L.D.X lipid analyzers under tightly controlled laboratory conditions for accuracy and precision in accordance with analytical guidelines of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP). Venous heparinized whole blood (VB) and plasma (VP), venous serum (VS), and capillary fingerstick whole blood (FB) were collected from 18 individuals. Total c...
