RATIONALE Non-pharmacological treatment of high triglycerides TLC includes dietary modification, weight reduction, increased physical activity, reducing alcohol intake, and treatment of hyperglycemia (if present). As for adults, the evidence that TLC will reduce serum TG levels and/or improve clinical outcomes is weak. Nonetheless, in the opinion of the Work Group, it is reasonable to advise ch...

Mesterolone is a synthetic androgenic steroid indicating a weak anabolic activity. A new, simple in use, and economical TLC-densitometric method in normal phase system (NP-TLC) has been developed and validated for the identification and quantitative determination of mesterolone in bulk drug and in tablet formulation. NP-TLC analysis was performed on aluminium plates precoated with silica gel 60...

Background. In view of the lack of evidence on the possibility of an economically viable, easy, and readily available biomarker to substitute the traditional role of CD4 counts in HIV disease progression, this study seeks to investigate the potential use of body mass index (BMI), haemoglobin (Hb), and total lymphocyte count (TLC) as surrogate biomarkers for monitoring the disease. Methods. This...

Tiger nut milk liquid coproduct (TLC) can be used as an ingredient in the food industry because it is a valuable source of natural antioxidants (phenolic compounds). This study analyses the effect of replacing water (50 or 100 %) with different concentrations of TLC in cooked pork liver pâté by measuring the chemical composition, haemopigment and lipid oxidation, physicochemical and sensory cha...

Background: The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship among some anthropometric variables and lung functional capacities of the undergraduate students in Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Nigeria. Method: This study was undertaken at the Department of Physical and Health Education, Faculty of Education, OAU, Ile Ife, Nigeria. One hundred and forty students (90 males and 50 fema...

We evaluated the individual and combined levels of urine dipstick and total lymphocyte count (TLC) as surrogate markers for CD4 count in a low-resource community in Ghana. This cross-sectional study recruited 200 HIV-infected patients from the Saint Francis Xavier Hospital, Assin Fosu, Ghana. Complete blood count, CD4 count, and urine dipstick analysis were measured for participants. The thresh...

Urinary amino acids were determined in 162 individuals (62 young non-vegetarians, 24 elderly non-vegetarians, 40 young vegetarians and 36 elderly vegetarians) by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The two methods used in this study were compared. The difference in the percentage frequencies of detection by TLC and HPLC in non-vegetarian group was ...

Seaweeds are important sources of carotenoids, and numerous studies have shown the beneficial effects of these pigments on human health. In the present study, Himanthalia elongata brown seaweed was extracted with a mixture of low polarity solvents, and the crude extract was separated using analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The separated compounds were tested for their potential antiox...

BACKGROUND In resource-limited settings, such as Kenya, access to CD4 testing is limited. Therefore, evaluation of less expensive laboratory diagnostics is urgently needed to diagnose immuno-suppression in children. OBJECTIVES To evaluate utility of total lymphocyte count (TLC) as surrogate marker for CD4 count in HIV-infected children. METHODS This was a hospital based retrospective study ...
