BACKGROUND Although the alterations of lipid profile in lung cancer have been documented, the prognostic value of serum HDL-C level and its correlation with inflammation in NSCLC remain unknown. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Levels of preoperative serum lipid concentrations (including HDL-C, LDL-C, TC, and TG) and the inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein level (CRP) were retrospectively analyzed ...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a lipoprotein which has anti-atherogenic property by reversing cholesterol transport from the peripheral tissues to liver. Low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) as well as high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with the development of coronary heart diseases (CHD). Various epidemiological studies have suggested that the development of CHD increase...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Alteration in lipid profile is a common observation in patients with thyroid dysfunction, but the current knowledge on the relationship between lipids and thyroid hormone levels in euthyroid state is insufficient. The current study aimed to determine the association between thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with lipid profile in a euthyroid male populatio...

the purpose of the present research was to determine the effects of intermittent and continuous training programs on some selected cardiovascular risk factors in young obese females. for this purpose, 36 obese sedentary subjects with bmi>30 were randomly assigned to three groups of intermittent exercise (mean ± sd of height, weight, and age: 163.2±5.8cm, 86.8±11.8kg, 20.7±1.3yr), continuous exe...

Abstaract: Objective: To investigate whether the risk profile for coronary heart disease (CHD) is more favorable in individuals with high tetraplegia (neurological lesion above C4) than in healthy controls. (Because inactivity has a negative effect on the lipid profile.) Design: Case-control study. Setting: This research was performed in the rehabilitation hospital for the spinal cord injured p...

CONTEXT Several novel risk factors for atherosclerosis have recently been proposed, but few comparative data exist to guide clinical use of these emerging biomarkers. OBJECTIVE To compare the predictive value of 11 lipid and nonlipid biomarkers as risk factors for development of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Nested case-control study using ...

BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data about the best lipid ratio predicting the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with diabetes mellitus. We determined the relationship between five conventional lipid ratios and the extent of coronary artery lesions in Chinese Type 2 diabetics with stable angina pectoris (SAP). METHODS A prospective cohort study within 373 type 2 diabetic ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The clinical significance of statin-induced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) changes is not well known. We investigated whether rosuvastatin-induced HDL-C changes can influence the anti-oxidative action of high-density lipoprotein particle. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 240 patients with stable ischemic heart disease were studied. Anti-oxidative propert...

background: preliminary clinical trials showed that ginger improved lipid profile in type 2 diabetes patients (t2d). this trial was carried out to determine the effect of ginger on blood lipid and lipoproteins in t2d. methods: this is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on 88 t2d conducted in. the patients were randomly divided into two groups of ginger (gg) and placebo (pg), t...
