background: dyslipidemia is considered an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (chd). in the present study, we examined lipid profiles and paraoxonase 1 (pon1) activity and atherogenic indexes status and the relationship of pon1 activity by high-density lipoprotein (hdl) and atherogenic indexes in chd patients and healthy people. methods: the aim of the study was to compare pon1, ...

metabolic diseases in china have been on the rise in recent decades, partially due to reduced cereal consumption and excessive intake of low glycemic index (gi) foods such as meat and oil. although the relationship between dietary glycemic load (gl) and various metabolic diseases has been extensively studied worldwide, it is unclear whether dietary gl is related to blood lipid levels and dyslip...

background: coronary heart disease is one of the most important problems of public health. one risk factor is dyslipidemia. evidence from molecular and animal research and epidemiologic investigations indicate that calcium intake may influence lipid metabolism.but intervention studies have produced conflicting results.objective of this study was to determine the effects of calcium supplementati...

objective(s): in the current study, sunscreen and moisturizing properties of solid lipid nanoparticle (sln)-safranal formulations were evaluated. materials and methods:series of sln were prepared using glyceryl monostearate, tween 80 and different amounts of safranal by high shear homogenization, and ultrasound and high-pressure homogenization (hph) methods. sln formulations were characterized ...

objective(s): the aim of the present study was to prepare, characterize, and evaluate solid lipid nanoparticles (slns) containing zataria multiflora essential oil (zeo). materials and methods: in this study, z. multiflora essential oil-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (ze-slns) were prepared to improve its efficiency in controlling some fungal pathogens. slns containing z. multiflora essential ...

introduction: intracellular ph (phi) regulates essentially all aspects of cellular activities. however, it is unknown how endoplasmic reticulum (er) potassium channels sense phi. in this study, we investigate the direct effects of phi on er potassium channels. methods: we used channel incorporation into the bilayer lipid membrane method. l-α-phosphatidylcholine, a membrane lipid, was extracted ...

abstract introduction: several studies demonstrated association between dislipidemia and psychiatric disorder. the aim of this study is evaluation of the lipid profile of patient with comorbid generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. method: this is a descriptive- analytic study of 100 patient (25 in major depressive disorder, 25 in generalized anxiety disorder, 25 in comorbi...

objective(s): bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) play an important role in bone health. cadmium causes osteoporosis, but the exact mechanisms of its effect on mscs are not known. materials and methods: rats were treated with cadmium chloride (40 mg/l) in drinking water for six weeks, and then the biochemical and morphological studies on mscs were carried out as a cellular backup for oste...

oxidation of low density lipoprotein (ldl) particles plays a key role in the etiology of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (cad). oxidative stress enhances the likelihood of ldl oxidation and atherosclerotic plaque development. paraoxonase (poni) is an enzyme associated with hdl that metabolizes organophosphates and has antioxidant activity. in order to investigate the relationship be...
