BACKGROUND Changes in the lipid profile have been suggested as a risk factor for developing ischemic stroke. Their role in intra-cerebral hemorrhage, however, is not clear. The present study was designed to evaluate the lipid profile levels of patients who had experienced an acute stroke during the first 24-hour and to compare these levels in different patients suffering from the stroke, either...

Insulin, C-Peptide and HOMA-IR Mean fasting insulin concentrations were significantly higher in offspring of BDP as compared to those of NDP but no statistically significant difference in mean insulin concentration was found between NDP and ODP groups. The insulin resistance as assessed by HOMA-IR was markedly higher in the ODP and BDP group as compared to the control group (Tables 2 and 3). Th...

abstract objective: globally, 3-5.2 percent of people suffer from diabetes which is one of the most serious metabolic disorders resulting in an increase in inflammatory biomarkers e.g. interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and c-reactive protein. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress and fasting blood glucose, lipid profile and an...

omentin-1 is a novel adipokine that is predominantly secreted by visceral adipose tissue. circulating levels of omentin-1 is inversely related to obesity. there is limited information about the effect of exercise training on serum omentin-1 concentration. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of four weeks of progressive resistance training on serum omentin-1 levels. 16 male wiste...

The present investigation was conducted to study the contributive role of clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism in causing dyslipidemia. A total of 220 clinical hypothyroidism patients, 146 subclinical hypothyroids and 200 euthyroid controls, with a mean age of 39 years (range25 – 55 years) were included. The thyropropin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels of the patients were assayed by e...

Fifty three patients of alcohol dependence were studied for lipid profile at Drug Dependence Treatment Centre, A.I.I.M.S. Statistically significant differences were observed on most of lipid profile indicators when compared to control group. Ratio of Apo A-I & Apo B appeared to be better indicator than Apo A1 or Apo B. The findings of the study are discussed in context of other studies from Ind...

Background: Infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) is a critical issue in pediatrics, which is regarded as a major risk factor for birth trauma, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), birth asphyxia, transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and jaundice. IDM is also a risk factor for microvascular (e.g., ocular and renal complications) and macrovascular complications (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, a...
