the non-enzymatic glycation of low density lipoprotein (ldl) is a naturally occurring chemical modification of apolipoprotein b as a result of condensation between lysine residues and glucose. glycated ldl is poorly recognized by ldl receptors and initiates different processes that can be considered proatherogenic. thus, ldl glycation may contribute in the increased atherosclerotic risk of pati...

objective(s):resveratrol (res) is a polyphenol compound that has been shown a promising cardioprotective effect. however, some reports have yielded conflicting findings. herein, we investigated the anti-atherosclerotic effects of res in apolipoprotein e (apo e)-deficient mice on a high cholesterol diet. materials and methods: firstly, atherosclerosis was induced by feeding a high cholesterol di...

Dyslipidemia is a disease characterized by abnormalities in blood lipid levels, mainly total cholesterol and triglycerides. Other changes include low high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) high levels of low-density (LDL-C)

abstract objective: thyroid dysfunction complicates the metabolic derangement observed in diabetes mellitus (dm). it is necessary to recognize and treat it, when present, in order to achieve stability of metabolic control in these patients. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dm on thyroid hormone levels and other biochemical variables. materials and methods: to determine the...

Recent studies suggest an association of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) with cardiovascular risk factors, such as dyslipidaemia. The present study analyses the effects of OSA and its therapy on serum lipid concentrations in 470 OSA patients in a single centre study. Multivariate regression showed a significant association between the apnoea-hypopnoea index and high-density lipoprotein cholester...

BACKGROUND Mycosis fungoides, the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, is more common in patients aged 45-55. OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular risk factors have been investigated in several skin diseases. However, the relation between cardiovascular diseases and mycosis fungoides remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess cardiovascular risk factors in patients with ...
