Background: Abnormal lipid metabolism predisposes to cardiovascular disease. However, dyslipidemia is often asymptomatic leading its underdiagnosis. Therefore, it of utmost importance identify biomarkers that reflect an abnormal profile and trigger the specific investigation metabolism. The platelet–monocyte ratio (PMR) a severely understudied index whose association with disturbed markers rema...

Objective. To determine if non-HDL cholesterol (N-HDL) and directly measured LDL cholesterol (D-LDL) are clinically equivalent measurements. Patients and Methods. Eighty-one subjects recruited for 2 cholesterol treatment studies had at least 1 complete fasting lipid panel and D-LDL performed simultaneously; 64 had a second assessment after 4 to 6 weeks, resulting in 145 triads of C-LDL, D-LDL, ...

Aim: Dyslipidemia is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Increased triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, and decreased high (HDL-C) levels were associated with increased risk. Recently, comprehensive lipid profile indices derived from these conventional parameters have attracted to attention. Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) one the calculate...

Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder, an expression of defect in the gene that responsible for production LDL-C receptor. The current study was designed to determine FH patients city Sulaymaniyah both sexes. included 213 samples, number males 99 and females 114, sexes ranged from (30-79) years.The results cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low-densi...

background: hypercholesterolemia is one of the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. it affects general health and increases cardiovascular mortality rate. diet with high cholesterol increases ldl that, inturn, decrease ldl receptors activity in liver. oxidation of vessel wall lipoproteins increases development of atherosclerosis. several evidences suggest that antioxidants consumption decre...
