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...

OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between Non-high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and the proportion of patients achieving Adult Treatment Panel III recommended goals. METHODS The cross sectional study was conducted at the Diabetic Clinic, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. Data of Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients wh...

increasing the intensity of physical activity is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases and this may be the reason why the blood lipoprotein profiles improve. so the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of six weeks of a high intensity interval training (hiit) on lipid profile of sedentary young men. for this purpose, 18 sedentary young men voluntarily participated i...

For 26 months, we fed baboons a high saturated fat, high cholesterol diet that contained very low concentrations of four common pesticides (chlordane, parathion, diazinon, and carbofuran). We detected no effect of pesticides on body weight, serum lipid, or lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations, or experimental atherosclerosis. We then examined the associations of serum lipid and lipoprotein ch...

This study was conducted to compare the bio-efficacy of herbal methionine (H-Met) relative to DL-methionine (DL-Met) on 160 “Ross 308” broiler chickens. DL-Met and H-Met were added to the basal diet in eight experimental treatments with three and four concentrations respectively in starter, grower and finisher period. Blood parameters which were measured at 24 and 42 days of age consisted of: s...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevated low density lipoprotein and reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol may increase the risk of atherothrombotic brain infarction, but the metabolic mechanisms accounting for this relation are poorly understood. METHODS The kinetic parameters of low density and high density lipoprotein were studied in nine subjects with atherothrombotic brain infarction or id...

Recommendations for identifying persons at high risk for coronary heart disease are based primarily on levels of total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. We examined whether, given knowledge of these levels, information on the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level would improve the prediction of arteriographically documented coronary artery disease among 591 men. We found that even a...
