The objectives of the present study were to (1) examine the effects of the phenotypic factors age, gender and BMI on the lipidomic profile and (2) investigate the relationship between the lipidome, inflammatory markers and insulin resistance. Specific ceramide, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine lipids were increased in females relative to males and specific lysophosphatidylcholin...

Lipids are a diverse group of organic compounds that serve essential roles due to their biological functions for all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Despite the fundamental role lipid class in plants, there is still relatively low level knowledge regarding composition grape lipids. This research represents first investigation into lipids Croatian variety ‘Maraština’ (Vitis vinifera L.), e...

The effects of octadecylamide alginic acid (amidated alginate) and tetrahydrolipstatin on serum hepatic cholesterol, the faecal output fat sterols, were investigated in rats. Amidated alginate is a sorbent lipids, an inhibitor pancreatic lipase. Rats fed diets containing cholesterol palm at 10 70 g/kg, respectively. Palm was provided by coconut meal. 40 g/kg diet significantly decreased total l...

abstract background and objective: t3 resin uptake test indicates the availability of thyroxin binding globulin (tbg), which is the carrier of a large amount of t3 and t4 in blood. we aimed to study the relationship between serum t3 resin uptake and serum lipids profile. material and methods: the participants aged 14.80 ± 38.29 were both males (59 29.5%) and females (141 70.5 %). t3 resin uptak...

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...

Thyroid dysfunction has a great impact on lipids as well as a number of other cardiovascular risk factors. Hypothyroidism is relatively common and is associated with an unfavorable effect on lipids. Substitution therapy is beneficial for patients with overt hypothyroidism, improving lipid profile. However, whether subclinical hypothyroidism should be treated or not is a matter of debate. On the...

Alterations in serum lipid profile patterns have long been associated with malignancies, and their role remains controversial with respect to head and neck cancer. Due to an increased rate of neoplastic cell multiplication and reduced supply, there is increased utilization of lipids causing Hypolipidemia. Adding to this, tobacco contains carcinogens capable of damaging the cell membrane compone...
