Background: According to the international diabetes federation, 629 million adults will suffer from by 2045. Wet cupping therapy is a combination of bleeding and dry has been used in traditional medicine as complementary for diabetes. Limonene was shown have both antioxidant antidiabetic activity but its potential alongside other treatments not thoroughly explored. Objectives: Although wet-cupp...

Background and aim: Insulin resistance has been linked to both triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) hypertension, it is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The present study aimed determine the TyG atherogenic indices in essential hypertensive subjects find out association between them.
 Materials Methods: In this case-control study, 250 patients with hypertension healthy controls ...

The host response to infection is frequently accompanied by changes in lipid metabolism. Previous studies have shown that endotoxin (LPS), a component of the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria, increases serum lipid levels. In this study, we demonstrate that lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a component of the cell membrane of gram-positive bacteria, also increases serum lipid levels in rats in a dose-...

Triglycerides usually are stable in serum. However, for a few patients, we noted marked decreases in measured triglycerides when the same serum specimen was analyzed on successive days. This was found to be ascribable to intravenous administration of heparin. Measured triglyceride in serum of 11 patients being treated with heparin decreased 34% (SD 17%) in samples stored for one day at room tem...

Three hyperlipemic models in rats were compared regarding serum lipid levels and known anti-hyperlipemic agents were tested for their effects on the hyperlipemia. In rats fed a cholesterol diet (group A), only serum cholesterol level resulted in a marked increase as compared with normal level. In animals given a large dose (0.7 ml/100 g body weight, i.v.) of anti-kidney serum (group B), extreme...

OBJECTIVE To determine the fatty acid composition of serum phospholipid, triglyceride, and cholesterol ester fractions and to analyze the lipid profile of microalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A case-control study was conducted with 72 patients: 37 were normoalbuminuric (urinary albumin excretion rate [UAER] <20 microg/min), and 35 were microalbuminuric (UAER ...

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was evaluating the relationship between maternal serum lipid measured at 13-23 weeks of pregnancy and subsequent glucose intolerance. Materials and Methods: In a prospective study, 624 pregnant women prior to 23 weeks were eligible for the study. Primarily, serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglyceride were ...

Minocycline was added to normal and hyperlipemic serum samples in concentrations of 1 approximately 10 mcg/ml. These specimens had similar protein contents. Chemically extractable minocycline was quantitated fluorometrically. Hyperlipemic serum (cholesterol 480 mg/100 ml; triglycerides 321 mg/100 ml) yielded an average of 50% less minocycline than did normal serum (cholesterol 170 mg/100 ml; tr...

Patterns of serum biochemical parameters vary among horse breeds. The objective of the present study was to compare serum lipoproteins of Iranian Caspian ponies with those of other horses (Arabs and Thoroughbreds) in the Iranian region. Serum lipoprotein values were determined by agar-agarose gel electrophoresis and measured by scan densitometry. Moreover, serum triglyceride and cholesterol con...
