Dyslipidemia is elevation of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), or both, or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level that contributes to the development of atherosclerosis, which is a hallmark of diabetes. This research determined the influence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (Type 2 DM) on lipid profile of diabetic patients reporting in a tertiary hospital in Haryana....

BACKGROUND Lipid abnormalities contribute significantly to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetic and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Accumulating evidence supports a proatherogenic role for remnant lipoproteins. Thus, the aim of the present study was to compare remnant-like particle-cholesterol (RLP-C) in type 2 diabetic and ESRD patients with age- and gender-matched...

Excess fructose intake causes hypertriglyceridemia and hepatic insulin resistance in sedentary humans. Since exercise improves insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant patients, we hypothesized that it would also prevent fructose-induced hypertriglyceridemia. This study was therefore designed to evaluate the effects of exercise on circulating lipids in healthy subjects fed a weight-maintenance,...

more than eighty percent of patients with coronary heart diseases (chd) have conventional risk factors. prevalence of well known risk factors seems to show a different pattern in younger patients and individual above 55 years. to evaluate the pattern of conventional chd risk factors in healthy individuals in two different age groups. a large scale population based survey of 31999 individuals fr...

Endothelial dysfunction in vascular disease states is associated with reduced NO bioactivity and increased superoxide (O2 ) production. Some data suggest that an important mechanism underlying endothelial dysfunction is endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) uncoupling, whereby eNOS generates O2 rather than NO, possibly because of a mismatch between eNOS protein and its cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH...

Mitochondrial DNA 5178 adenine/cytosine (mt5178 A/C) polymorphism is one of the longevity-associated mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms. The frequency of the mt5178A genotype is significantly higher in Japanese centenarians than in the general population. We previously reported that serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly higher in men with mt5178A than in those with m...

BACKGROUND/AIMS We aimed to discover if L-arginine and selenium alone or together can increase the effect of a hypocaloric diet enriched in legumes (HDEL) on central obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in women with central obesity. METHODS This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was undertaken in 84 premenopausal women with central obesity. After a 2-week run-in period on...

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze the utility lipid parameters individually and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio as a possible risk marker for intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH).
 Materials Methods: This was multicenter, retrospective case-control that included 226 patients with ICH controls. Lipid were evaluated after 12 h fasting in...
