The aim of the present study was to determine whether there was any correlation between serum thyroid hormones, lipids, lipoproteins and the activities of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in adult nonpregnant uniparous Iranian pure bred fat-tailed ewes. Blood samples (10 mL) were taken from the jugular vein of 30 clinically healthy Iranian adult nonpregnan...

paraoxonase-1 (pon1) is a serum hdl-bound enzyme that hydrolyzes a number of aromatic carboxylic acid esters including lipid peroxides, preventing ldl oxidation. systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) patients are at greater risk of oxidative stress, which is associated with abnormal plasma lipid metabolism. in this study, association of pon-55 polymorphism with serum arylesterase (are) activities,...

Dyslipidemia has been associated with premature atherosclerosis and other pathological conditions, and the determination of serum lipids is of great importance in health and disease. Most of the lipids are transported in plasma in the form of lipoproteins. Four classes of lipoproteins have been recognized by electrophoresis: chylomicrons, beta-, pre-beta-, and alpha-lipoproteins. Fredrickson, L...

introduction: in order to study the effects of turpentine oil on the concentration of lipids and lipoproteins of rabbit ( as an animal model for human studies )35 healthy female rabbits were chosen and then randomly allocated into 13 groups. different percents of turpentine oil and other oil compounds like vegetable oil, cholesterol and animal oil were given to each group ( 5 rabbits ) separate...

Correlation between fatty acids intake, serum lipid and lipoproteins with serum creatinine and kidney function in patients with renal failure has been suggested by other investigators. This relationship has not been reported for all types of fatty acids. This study was conducted to determine the association of the consumption of different type of fatty acids, serum lipids and lipoproteins with ...
