Background: The effect of cannabis on cholesterol and lipid balance has been reported for decades. However, there are conflicting reports the reduction low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) total cholesterol. purpose this study was to determine immediate changes Cannabis spp. consumption by pyrolytic route in heavy users. Methods: A cross-sectional 20 Peruvian users (mean age: 31 ± 9.5 years). inclus...

Regucalcin plays a multifunctional role as a regulatory protein in intracellular signaling pathway in many cell types. Regucalcin transgenic (TG) rats have been shown to experience hyperlipidemia with increasing age. This study was undertaken to determine whether lipid components in the adipose and liver tissues are changed in regucalcin TG rats in vivo. Female regucalcin TG rats were used at 7...

In an attempt to assess the relationship between lipid abnormalities and severity of coronary artery disease, we measured serum levels of cholesterol (SC), triglycerides (TG), phospholipids (SP), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and high density lipoprotein phospholipids (HDL-P), in 217 ...

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...

OBJECTIVE Children and adolescents are considered as the best target groups for preventing and controlling the cardiovascular diseases risk factors and reducing mortality in adulthood. Alternative medicine and herbal drugs have been taken into account for managing dyslipidemia in this population. The beneficial effects of Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) on lipid profile have been confirmed in some lab...

The objective of this study was to investigate serum lipoprotein levels in order to assess cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors between fish-consuming populations and non-fish-consuming populations, as it has been speculated that fish intake reduces CVD risk. A representative sample of one thousand subjects (529 men and 471 women) were selected, with ages ranging from 20 to 70 years, from ...

conclusions there was no difference between the effects of 2 g of epa or dha supplementation for 12 weeks on the levels of total cholesterol, ldl-c, hdl-c, tc/hdl-c, tg/hdl-c, and ldl-c/hdl-c; however, it had a desirable effect on the level of tg in a way that the effect of dha was clearer. results from 105 included patients, 97 (31 in epa, 33 in dha, and 33 in control groups) completed the stu...

objective: to ascertain the effects of soy [in the forms of textured soy protein (tsp) and soy-nut] on lipid profiles, apolipoproteins, inflammatory and prothrombotic markers and blood pressure in elderly women with the metabolic syndrome. materials and methods: the study is a 12-week parallel randomized controlled trial that was conducted in rural health centres of babol, iran. the participant...
