Objective The lipid composition of a mammal’s spermatozoa and seminal plasma vary in both structure and function. Evidence exists to suggest that dietary supplementation with the appropriate polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) affects spermatogenesis, semen quality and sperm motility. Therefore, this study has been conducted to evaluate the correlations between serum lipid profile and histologi...

This cross sectional study includes 500 diabetic and 500 apparently healthy subjects. The aim of the study was to compare anthropometric variables and lipid profile in diabetic and non-diabetics. Anthropometric variables included were height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist hip ratio (WHR) and lipid parameters were serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), Low density lipoproteins-...

Background: Hyperlipidemia and oxidized-low-density lipoproteins (Ox-LDL) are important independent cardiovascular risk factors that have been shown to stimulate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of vitamin E on Ox-LDL, lipid profile, C-reactive protein (CRP), and VSMC proliferation of rat aorta. Methods: Male Wistar...

conclusions examination of the fasting lipid profile has clinical importance in predicting the efficacy of peg-ifn-α-2b plus rbv combination therapy for patients with hcv g1b even after the discovery of the il28 genotype as a potent predictive factor. objectives to re-examine the significance of lipoprotein profiles on virological response to peg-ifn plus rbv combination therapy in patients wit...

The fractionation of lipoproteins of normal and hyperlipidemic subjects on a column of 2% agarose was compared with ultracentrifugation and paper electrophoresis procedures. The following results were obtained. (a) Plasma lipoproteins were eluted successively from the column in the four overlapping peaks of chylomicrons, very low density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins, and high density ...

Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is underdiagnosed globally, and in Malaysia. FH associated with elevated levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL-C), predisposes an individual to premature cardiovascular disease, including the life threatening clinical manifestations such as acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patients admitted STEMI Malaysia are comparatively younger than thos...

Lipid composition of serum lipoproteins was studied in Holstein cows throughout gestation and lactation. Blood serum lipids varied with stage of gestation or lactation; however, the percent lipid distributed in the cholesteryl esters, phospholipids, and unestcrtfied cholesterol did not vary. Cholesteryl esters and phospholipids accounted for approximately 90~ of the lipid content of whole serum...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of good glycemic control on serum lipids levels and lipid peroxidation, and to find out the relationship between the level of malondialdehyde and HbA1c in type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty type 2 diabetic patients aged 40-60 years with the history of diabetes for more than 10 years were studied. Glycemic control was stable...

Objective(s) The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobics, pilates exercises and low calorie diet on leptin levels and some lipid profiles and anthropometric factors in sedentary women. Materials and Methods Forty six women (age 36.41±3.47) were recruited and divided into four groups: aerobic exercise group (EX), Pilates exercise group (Pilates), low calorie diet (LCD) an...
