In an attempt to assess the relationship between lipid abnormalities and severity of coronary artery disease, we measured serum levels of cholesterol (SC), triglycerides (TG), phospholipids (SP), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and high density lipoprotein phospholipids (HDL-P), in 217 ...

OBJECTIVE Recent clinical evidence has failed to demonstrate the benefits of elevation of serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL), suggesting potential loss of protective effects of HDL at high concentrations. This study aimed to investigate the concentration-related effects of HDL on in vitro and in vivo functions of human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and related angiogenesis. METHODS AN...

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, ...

The substrate specificity of lipid transfer protein has been examined in whole plasma in vitro by following the redistribution of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-derived [3H]cholesteryl ester (CE) into apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins using density gradient ultracentrifugation. HDL-derived [3H]CEs were incubated with plasma or isolated lipoprotein classes (very low density lipoprot...

background: serum lipids abnormalities have been observed in various forms of cancers including acute leukemia. investigators report decreased total cholesterol and hdl, and elevated triglyceride in leukemic patients. limited studies had been performed to discover the correlation between abnormal lipids profile and disease activity in leukemic patients in iran. this study was done to evaluate t...

background: the association between the lipid profiles level and the incidence and severity of coronary heart disease (chd) is very pronounced in epidemiological studies, and an inverse relation between physical fitness and the incidence of coronary heart disease has been observed in many studies. the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a soccer match on lipid parameters of profe...

introduction: abnormal lipid profile causes maternal mortality and impairs fetal development. this study investigated the effect of ramadan fasting on plasma lipid profile in pregnant women. material and methods: this self-control, cohort study was performed in healthy volunteer fasted pregnant women. serum cholesterol, triglyceride (tg), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein ...
