objectives: controversial findings exist regarding the association between neonate gender and umbilical cord blood lipid levels. this study aims to compare the levels of lipids and lipoprotein b-100 in the umbilical cord blood of male and female newborns and assess the impact of these factors on neonatal anthropometric measurements. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 75 health...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of soybean lecithin on performance and blood lipids of broiler chicks. a total of 180 one day old ross 308 broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with nine treatments (diets with 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 percent of soybean lecithin) and four replicates for 47 days-rearing period. in ord...

This study aimed to investigate the concentrations effect of some Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium) Lipids compounds (Cholesterol, Triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, low very lipoprotein), sex hormones (estrogen testosterone) on atherosclerosis disease. The included a comparison between 60 patients from both male female with heart disease, 40 healthy gender. age ranged (30 -...

The present study was aimed efficiency to evaluate the unsaturated fatty acid omega-3 in reducing side effects that resulted from administration of cyclosporine drug white rabbits. (60) males' rabbits were used this study, divided into four groups contain (15) per group and its subdivision three (5) group. first is orally administered with normal saline, second (25mg/kg) only. Third on day (500...

accumulating evidence suggest that in patients with diabetes mellitus, increased rate of lipoprotein oxidation and oxidative stress have important role in diabetic angiopathy, including nephropathy. to evaluate the association of oxidized low- density lipoprotein (ox-ldl) with the development of diabetic nephropathy, plasma level of ox-ldl were measured in 70 diabetic patients with macro and 63...

liver secretes a large range of very low density lipoprotein (vldl) particles of different sizes and svedberg flotation rates (sf). in plasma vldl is converted to low density lipoprotein (ldl)which in turn plays an important role in the development of atherosclerotic diseases; however,triglyceride (tg) rich vldl1 has been shown to be more deleterious than cholesteryl ester (ce) rich vldl2. ther...

introduction: estrogen is one of the female sex hormones that in addition to its reproductive role, has favorable fects on the metabolism of blood lipids and lipoproteins and by this way decreases the coronary heart disease. n the other hand, phytoestrogens are phytochemical substances that have effects like estrogens. isoflavones, hich the most important of them is genistein, are the most comm...

background: obesity is a global public health problem. visfatin, as an adipocytokine, is coded by a gene known as nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase. so far, results were conflicted  regarding correlations of visfatin with obesity and metabolic variables.the present study aimed to explore the association between g?948t polymorphism of visfatin gene with obesity and lipid profile in a nation...
