background dyslipidemia is a major risk for cardiovascular diseases. the aim of this study is to review the effects of nutraceuticals to modify lipid disorders in children. materials and methods the literature research was conducted in embase, medline, pubmed, scopus, isi web of science, and cochrane library from 2002 until january 2015. the following keywords were used: dyslipidemia, hyperlipi...

A cross-over study, comparing the effects of doxazosin, moduretic and amlodipine on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in 9 hypertensive Nigerians aged 35 to 65 years is presented. Doxazosin therapy had favourable lipid changes characterized by a statistically significant reduction in total cholesterol (TC) at 6 months. Though consistent reduction was observed in total triglycerides (TG) low d...

tamarindus indica is used as a traditional treatment for diabetes. to elucidate whether tamarindus indica seed aqueous extract (tse) ameliorates metabolic syndrome in hyperinsulinemic rats, we evaluated serum insulin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (dheas), triglyceride (tg), total cholesterol (tc), very low density lipoprotein (vldl), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein (hd...

Dyslipidemia is a disease characterized by abnormalities in blood lipid levels, mainly total cholesterol and triglycerides. Other changes include low high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) high levels of low-density (LDL-C)

BACKGROUND Small apolipoprotein A (apo [A]) phenotypes and oxidized low-density lipoprotein immune complexes (oxLDL-ICs) are known to be associated with the development of atherosclerosis in adults. Presence of these factors in children and their relationships with other known cardiovascular risk factors have not been well documented. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship of oxLDL-ICs with ap...

in this study, the effect of lovastatin and fluvastatin was compared with placebo in patients with high levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (ldl-c) on the plasma lipid profile. in a prospective single blind clinical trial with convenient sampling, 120 hypercholesterolemic men and women with tcholesterol ≥220 mg/dl, ldl-c ≥ 160 mg/dl, and triglyceride ≤ 350 mg/dl ...

We conducted a case control study to evaluate the effect of phenytoin and valproic acid on serum lipids and liver function tests in epileptic children. Seventy-nine children receiving at least 6 months of antiepileptic monotherapy were categorized into two groups, depending on whether they were receiving phenytoin or valproic acid. Age matched healthy controls were also included. The mean total...

The relationships of lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride among lipoprotein fractions have potential significance for understanding atherogenesis and distinguishing among different classes of hyperlipidemia. We have compared these relationships in normolipidemic, hypercholesterolemic, hypertriglyceridemic, and combined hyperlipidemic participants in the Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Comp...

Objectives: The difference between modern lifestyle in urban areas and the traditional way of life in rural areas may be a reason for increased prevalence of cardiovascular disorders in urban population. The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as obesity, blood pressure and lipid profile in rural women as compared to urban women of same ethnic groups....
