Abstract Objective: Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease. One of the most common problems in diabetic patients is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease which is induced by hyperlipidemia. Impaired lipid metabolism resulting from uncontrolled hyperglycemia has been implicated in cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients. Also, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been rega...

Studies in experimental arteriosclerosis have indicated that the relative level of serum lipid phosphorus may be as significant a factor as the absolute level of serum cholesterol in the production of arterial lesions. For this reason, the serum lipid pattern of 82 patients with coronary arteriosclerosis has been compared with that of 112 healthy adults. An elevation of the serum cholesterol, s...

Serum lipid levels were determined in 30 children with kwashiorkor and in 30 healthy children of comparable age. The serum concentrations of unesterified and esterified cholesterol, albumin and the cholesterol esterifying activity (CEA) were also measured in children with kwashiorkor before treatment and after recovery. All serum lipid fractions were significantly lower in kwashiorkor than in t...

Serum lipid profile changes were investigated in 53 children receiving phenobarbital (n = 14), carbamazepine (n = 21), and valproic acid (n = 18) for their newly diagnosed seizure disorder. The patients were followed prospectively. Serum total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride concentrations increased after 3 months of treat...

Objective The lipid composition of a mammal’s spermatozoa and seminal plasma vary in both structure and function. Evidence exists to suggest that dietary supplementation with the appropriate polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) affects spermatogenesis, semen quality and sperm motility. Therefore, this study has been conducted to evaluate the correlations between serum lipid profile and histologi...

Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthoma is characterized by thepresence of yellowish-orange plaques on the eyelids, neck, uppertrunk, buttocks and flexural surfaces of the extremities in patientswith a normal lipid profile. It mainly affects adults of both sexes.Diffuse normolipemic plane xanthomas are usually associatedwith reticuloendothelial system disorders, such a...

BACKGROUND People are aware of the consequences of high serum lipid levels, specifically, total cholesterol. Awareness about harmful effects of very low levels of serum lipids is still lacking. Very low levels of serum lipids lead to psychological consequences. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to show whether there was a significant relationship between serum lipid levels and depres...
