Purpose: Ascorbic acid has protective effects against coronary heart disease. These effects are   attributed to its antioxidant properties and its relation to plasma lipids. This study investigated the   effects of supplementing one gram of vitamin C per day on the serum serum lipoproteins of   healthy 18 to 55 years old individuals in Iran.   Materials and Methods: This study was conducted o...

This study evaluated the effects of purified paper wasp Ropalidia marginata venoms on various biomolecules in blood serum albino mice. Changes concentration some important macromolecules, i.e., proteins, free amino acids, uric acid, cholesterol, pyruvic total lipids and glucose were noted down. These alterations measured after intraperitoneal injection 40% 80% 24-hour LD50 venom toxin. Serum pr...

OBJECTIVE In patients with acute myocardial infarctions (MIs), cholesterol levels are no longer valid after 24 h from presentation because acute MI causes a rapid decline in serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of acute MI on the total cholesterol/HDL c...

T he efforts of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to inform the public about the role of cholesterol in coronary heart disease (CHD) have recently come under criticism. The critics, popular magazine writers and a small group of physicians, suggest that the relation between cholesterol and CHD is not well defined, that lowering serum chole...

To investigate the relationship between serum lipids and alkaline phosphatase during normal pregnancy, we measured triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol concentrations and alkaline phosphatase activity in serum samples from 546 apparently healthy pregnant, postpartum, and nonpregnant women. Serum HDL-cholesterol levels did not change significantly during pregnanc...

BACKGROUND Although the link between hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome had been recognized, the association of the dyslipidemia among individuals with hyperuricemia remains not comprehensively assessed. METHODS Using NHANES III study, we examined the relation between serum lipid profiles and different serum uric acid levels, including serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides...

The effect of curcumin administration in reducing the serum levels of cholesterol and lipid peroxides was studied in ten healthy human volunteers, receiving 500 mg of curcumin per day for 7 days. A significant decrease in the level of serum lipid peroxides (33%), increase in HDL Cholesterol (29%), and a decrease in total serum cholesterol (11.63%) were noted. As curcumin reduced serum lipid per...
