High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were studied in 10 male patients with severe coronary atherosclerosis and in 10 well-matched controls. All subjects were normolipidemic, and the presence of a disease or other factor influencing HDL levels were excluded. Very low density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein levels were similar in both groups, but HDL concentration was significantly lower...

Classic clinical and epidemiological studies have long ago established the presence of an inverse relationship between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and thus, it was assumed that measures that increase HDLC levels would afford protection against atherosclerosis-based CVD. However, trials of drugs, such as cholesterol ester transfer pro...

OBJECTIVE To assess and compare the status of lipid peroxidation, both in control subjects and in coronary heart disease patients. METHODS Serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and malondialdehyde levels were determined in 46 patients with coronary heart disease and 50 age matched control healthy subjects. 29 male cor...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) after tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke is associated with poor outcome. There are conflicting data on sICH risk related to lipid levels and use of lipid-lowering medications. We evaluated whether there are associations between lipid levels, lipid-lowering medications, and sICH in Get With the Guidelines-Str...

in order to study the effect of different levels of desiccated ox bile (dob; 0.00, 0.25, and 0.50%) and organic acid (oa; 0.00, 0.15, and 0.30% of the diet) on performance, fat digestibility, blood metabolites and ileal digesta viscosity in broiler chickens fed diets containing 5% tallow, in a completely randomized design with a 3×3 factorial arrangement and 4 replicates in each treatment, 360 ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp (dlp) on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of broilers. in this experiment 240 of broilers (ross-308) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates (with 20 birds in each replicate) from 1 to 42 days. experimental diets included: 1) ...

A data of serum lipid profile such as total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride from 100 patients in the age range of 15-65 years of both sex having subclinical hypothyroidism were compared with euthyroid controls to observe that whether subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with abn...

BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in western societies and cigarette smoke is among the factors that strongly contribute to the development of this disease. The early events in atherogenesis are stimulated on the one hand by cytokines that chemoattract leukocytes and on the other hand by decrease in circulating molecules that protect endothelial cells (ECs) from injury. H...

An analysis of plasma lipids and lipoprotein fractions was performed over the course of the annual ovarian cycle of the female turtle, Chrysemys picta. Determinations of total plasma triglycerides, cholesterol, vitellogenin and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) were made. The lipid and protein composition of the lipoprotein fractions [very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL)...
