The changes in lipid profile have long been associated with cancer because lipids play a key role in maintenance of cell integrity. Lipids are the major cell membrane components essential for various biological functions including cell growth and division of normal and malignant tissues. Lower blood lipids have been associated with the etiology of breast and colorectal cancer, and relation has ...

background: low bone mass is a major health problem in postmenopausal women.there is no general agreement regarding relationship between serum level of lipidsand bone mineral density.objective: this study was carried out to investigate the association between lipidprofile and bone mineral density (bmd) in postmenopausal women in yazd, iran.materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was p...

Liver damage and alterations in the exocrine function of the gland lead to a profound alteration of the plasma lipoprotein profile. To determine whether hepatic disease results in changes in the lipoprotein fatty acid composition, i.e. to determine whether liver function influences the homeostasis of complex lipids in plasma, we studied the fatty acid profile of lipids from VLDL, LDL and HDL, a...

Background: Infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) is a critical issue in pediatrics, which is regarded as a major risk factor for birth trauma, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), birth asphyxia, transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) and jaundice. IDM is also a risk factor for microvascular (e.g., ocular and renal complications) and macrovascular complications (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, a...

This paper describes the effects of thermally oxidized tallow on the serum lipids profile and radical scavenging activity (RSA) of the lipids extracted from the different tissues of the rabbits. Tallow was thermally oxidized at 130℃ for 9, 18, 27, 36 and 45 h respectively. Thermally oxidized tallow was fed to the local strain of Himalayan rabbits for one week. Results show that oxidation increa...

BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer patients have a high risk of developing venous thrombosis. The membrane lipid bilayer of platelets and platelet-derived microparticles (PMP) provides a platform for assembly of coagulation proteins and generation of blood clots. METHODS We compared the lipid composition of platelets and PMPs in patients with ovarian cancer to those in healthy subjects. We used shotgu...

Lipids are essential components of biological membranes, lipoproteins and metabolic regulators that control cellular function and homeostasis. The lipid profile indicates whether there is a problem in metabolizing lipids (metabolic syndrome), or consumption of a high-fat or high-cholesterol diet. Lipid profile and body fat have been shown to be the important predictors for metabolic disturbance...

Background and aims: Dyslipidemia is one of the major factors implicated in the development of the vascular complications of diabetes. In this study, it was evaluated the association between serum lipids profile and Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the serum lipid profile and...
