regarding the high prevalence of hyperlipidaemia, which is one of the major risk factors of cardiovascular disease, and uncertain reports about the relation between periodontal disease and serum lipid profile, this study was conducted to assess this relation. the historical cohort study was conducted on 52 cases including 26 persons with chronic periodontitis as case group, and 26 healthy subje...

Clinical studies indicate that levels of apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I), the major protein moiety of the high density lipoprotein (HDL) particle, may provide more information concerning the risk of future cardiovascular disease than do levels of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). Therefore, the relationship of HDL-C to apo A-I levels was examined in a biracial sample of 2849 5- to 17-year-olds. The mean HD...

BACKGROUND Blood lipid abnormalities in patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have been associated with exposure to protease inhibitors (PIs), particularly ritonavir. First therapy with a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) leads to relatively favourable lipid profiles. We report on medium-term lipid profiles (up to 5 years) for antiretroviral-naive patient...

to evaluate the concentrations of serum lipids and lipoproteins and their correlations together and withthyroid hormones in gray necked ostrich (struthio camelus), the serum levels of cholesterol, triglyceride,total lipids, very low density lipoproteins (vldl-cholesterol), low density lipoproteins (ldl-cholesterol)and high density lipoproteins (hdl-cholesterol) and their correlations with tri-i...

although there are many evidences regard to the relationship between serum thyroid hormones, cholesterol, triglyceride and lipoproteins in different animals, but there are limited references in dogs. the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between thyroid hormones and concentrations of serum lipid and lipoprotein profiles, and also to detect relationship between the measured para...

paliurus spina-christi mill (rhamnaceae) has been used in folk medicine as a hypocholesterolemic agent. in this study, the effect of total fruit extract on lowering lipid content of serum was investigated. male rats were introduced streptozocin, subsequently fed with a high cholesterol diet and concomitantly treated with various doses of the extract. after 8 days, serum levels of cholesterol, t...
