background: we studied the effects of high protein (hp) and balanced diets (bds) on lipid profiles, and high‑sensitive c‑reactive protein (hs‑crp) levels in obese and overweight women. methods: in a parallel designed randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 healthy women with body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, aged 20–46 years, enrolled in an 8‑week investigation at aerobic clubs. they were categorized...

background: cancer has the highest disease-related mortality rate in iran. reduced activity of paraoxonase reported in patients with cancer may be due to a reduction in its antioxidant properties and a subsequent increased risk of developing cancer. we aimed to assess antioxidant and oxidative status in patients with cancer through measuring the activity of pon1 as an antioxidant enzyme and det...

objective: diabetes mellitus is defined as a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both or insulin resistance. curcumin inhibits nf-κb signaling pathway. the aim of this study is evaluation of the effect of nano-curcumin on hba1c, fast blood glucose and lipid profile in diabetic patients. materials and methods:...

background: regular moderate intensity physical activity and lipid lowering effects of nigella sativa(n. sativa) supplementation may be appropriate management for sedentary overweight females. therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of long-term n. sativasupplementation and aerobic training on lipid profile and maximal oxygen consumption (vo2max) in sedentary overweig...

the concentration of adiponectin, a hormone which is secreted from adipose tissue, is inversely correlated with body fat mass. this hormone has anti inflammatory and anti atherogenic properties. its concentration reduces in metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. this study reviews the evidence on the relationship between serum adiponectin concentration and lipid profile. in this study ...

the association between overt hypothyroidism and altered lipid profile is well known, whereas the significance of dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) is still a matter of debate. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the lipid profile in patients with sch in comparison to controls. serum lipid parameters of 34 patients with sch and 34 age- and sex-matched healthy controls we...

noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is the most common complication of long-term noise exposure, though there  are  some  other  complications  due  to  exposure  to  noise.  metabolic  complications  of  the  noise exposure are being evaluated in recent studies. we aimed to assess the relationship between nihl and lipid profile, and fasting blood sugar (fbs). in this cross-sectional  study, 462 ...
