BACKGROUND: The new coronavirus pneumonia (NCP, COVID-19) outbreak began in Wuhan December 2019. (2019 novel (2019-nCoV)) can cause multiple organ damage, mainly to lung tissue, and induce inflammation the body. OBJECTIVES: To investigate changes of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level patients with COVID-19 assess its value evaluation prognosis this disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This paper is...

background: the serum concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c) is one of the important heritable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and is a target for therapeutic intervention. in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (lcat) gene polymorphism rs5923 on lcat enzyme activity and serum hdl-c concentration. methods: the study...

OBJECTIVE To compare the magnitude of lipid, and lipoproteins, especially the lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], in controls and patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS Serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C, apo A1, apo B, and Lp(a) levels were determined in 37 patients with CHD and 25 age matched control subjects. RESULTS A significant difference (P < 0.001) in lipid...

Background and Objectives: Diabetes is one of the major health challenges in world. Herbal medicines are widely used for the treatment of diabetes. The current study assessed the effects of oral administration of essential oils from Myrtus communis, Trachyspermum copticum and Ferula gummosa on blood glucose and lipid profiles in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and inhibitory effects of the...

BACKGROUND Since measured low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) has been available in clinical laboratories, there have been concern about the disagreement between measured and calculated LDL-C and the factors causing their disagreement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum lipid concentrations were collected from 1,339 medical records of patients admitted to hospital between 2013 and 2015. They we...

Dyslipidemia is one of the primary causes for coronary artery disease (CAD). Elevated total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and lowered high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) are conventional risk factor in myocardial infarction patients. The present study was undertaken with an objective to frame out the lipid and lipoprotein profile in n...

Background: Rosa canina L. (rose hip) has been traditionally used to treat diabetes mellitus in Iran. However, no scientific human study has determined its efficacy in diabetic patients. Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of R. canina fruit aqueous extract in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: Sixty patients with type 2 diabetes, aged 35 - 60 years w...
