High density lipoprotein has anti-inflammatory effects in addition to mediating reverse cholesterol transport. While many of the chronic anti-inflammatory effects of high density lipoprotein (HDL) are attributed to changes in cell adhesion molecules, little is known about acute signal transduction events elicited by HDL in endothelial cells. We now show that high density lipoprotein decreases e...

background: the present study was undertaken to estimate and compare the levels of plasma total cholesterol (tc), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein (hdl), very low density lipoprotein (vldl) and triglycerides in patients with oral precancerous lesions/conditions, oral cancer and normal subjects. materials and methods: the study comprised of 60 patients with oral precancero...

Objective Dyslipidemia and insulin resistance (IR), occurring in most infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to assess the relationships between lipoprotein ratios and IR in PCOS women. MaterialsAndMethods Thirty six infertile women with PCOS selected based on Androgen Excess Society (AES) ...

Dyslipidemia is a disease characterized by abnormalities in blood lipid levels, mainly total cholesterol and triglycerides. Other changes include low high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) high levels of low-density (LDL-C)

The present study was aimed efficiency to evaluate the unsaturated fatty acid omega-3 in reducing side effects that resulted from administration of cyclosporine drug white rabbits. (60) males' rabbits were used this study, divided into four groups contain (15) per group and its subdivision three (5) group. first is orally administered with normal saline, second (25mg/kg) only. Third on day (500...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There are conflicting data on the effects of fasting in Ramadan in Muslim countries on Lipid profile. We aimed to evaluate the effect of fasting on lipid profiles and some ratios which are strong for predicting cardiovascular disease. METHODS This prospective observational study was done in Iran in 2012. Forty three persons were enrolled into the study. Their anthrop...

We have developed an automated method for measuring high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol in serum without prior separation, using polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified enzymes and sulfated alpha-cyclodextrin. When cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase enzymes were modified with PEG, they showed selective catalytic activities towards lipoprotein fractions, with the reactivity increasin...

Background-Low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are

Baboons from some families have a higher concentration of plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL) on a chow diet and accumulate large HDL (HDL1) when challenged with a high cholesterol and high saturated fat (HCHF) diet. HDL1 from high HDL1 animals contained more (1.5-fold) cholesteryl ester than HDL (HDL2 + HDL3) from high or low HDL1 animals. HDL from high HDL1 baboons had lower triglyceride c...
