Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is adisorder of hyperandrogenemia and chronic anovulation which affects 5-10% of all women. It has been reported that women with PCOS often have serum lipid level elevation. This study compares serum lipid levels in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome. Materials and Methods: In this comparative-cross sectional study, lipid profiles (Tota...

BACKGROUND The epidemiology of plasma lipid peroxides, which may play a role in atherogenesis, has not been well defined. AIM To study the relationships of plasma lipid peroxides to cardiovascular risk factors in a random population sample. DESIGN Random, age- and sex-stratified population sample. METHODS We studied 739 men and women aged 25-74 years. Lipid peroxides were assayed by the t...

Biliary lipid compositions in infants with cholestasis were analysed. Bile acid and phospholipid values were appreciably lower in infants with idiopathic neonatal hepatitis syndrome or corrected biliary atresia than in control infants. Cholesterol values were not, however, notably lower in infants with cholestasis. When biliary lipid components were determined in terms of molar percent, bile ac...

INTRODUCTION Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP) Index correlates to cardiovascular risk factors in general population but it has not been tested in hospitalized patients. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate associations between LAP Index and metabolic profile in a tertiary hospital. METHODS Cross-sectional study with 90 inpatients. Lipid profile, fasting glucose, systolic and diastolic blood pres...

Our aim was to evaluate lipid peroxidation, expressed as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), nitric oxide metabolites (nitrite + nitrate) expressed as NOx, and TBARS/NOx ratio in a group of subjects with metabolic syndrome (MS). In this regard we enrolled 106 subjects with MS defined according to the IDF criteria, subsequently subdivided into diabetic (DMS) and nondiabetic (NDMS) a...

We performed multivariate genetic analyses of cardiovascular risk factors from two sets of data on US and Australian female twins. Similar models for body mass index (BMI), serum low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoproteins, including age as a covariate, were fitted successfully to both groups. These suggested that BMI, or genes responsible for a significant proportion of the variance ...
