introduction atherosclerosis is a disease which begins during childhood. oxidation of lipoproteins is an important factor implicated in atherosclerosis. vitamin c decreases blood serum lipids and may inhibit atherosclerosis. this study was designed to observe the effect of ascorbic acid on blood serum lipids in male rabbits fed high-cholesterol diet. methods twenty white male rabbits were weigh...

conclusions in a current study based on increasing maternal age, the hdl-c level in cord blood was decreased which is an independent risk factor for cvds in adulthood. results a statistically significant negative correlation was observed between cord blood hdl-c and maternal age (r = -0.18, p <0.01). there was no relationship between other lipids and lipoproteins with maternal age. our findings...

The demonstration of a role for serum lipoproteins in lipid transport in health and disease has stimulated interest in the biological activity of the lipid and protein moieties of these substances. For these investigations the development of improved methods for separating the lipids from whole serum or from the serum lipoproteins themselves is important but fully acceptable methods are not yet...

although there are many evidences regard to the relationship between serum thyroid hormones, cholesterol, triglyceride and lipoproteins in different animals, but there are limited references in dogs. the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between thyroid hormones and concentrations of serum lipid and lipoprotein profiles, and also to detect relationship between the measured para...

¯abstract backgrounds: lipoprotein (a) or lp(a) is a cholesterol-rich particle with atherothrombogenic properties. plasma level of lp(a) varies in different populations, however, little data on normal range of lp(a) lipoprotein among iranian population is available objective: the aim of this study was to estimate the normal range of lp(a) and also its relationship with other lipoproteins in a g...
