In reviewing the trends and influences of life-style in this country on health and disease in the latter half of 20th century, we focused our attention on 4 major habits of smoking, drinking, exercise and diets, and collected data on the Japanese to conduct a meta-analysis of their relationship with serum lipids and lipoproteins, which are the metabolic risk factors most closely related to athe...

Previous studies in man have indicated that administration of either plant sterols or unsaturated dietary fats causes decreases in certain serum lipids. This report presents the results of a long-term 7-phase study of the comparative effects of the single and combined administration of plant sterols (p-sitosterol) and a highly unsaturated vegetable oil (safflower oil) in 15 ambulatory subjects....

background and aims. a link between the occurrence of severe periodontitis and several systematic health changes including an altered lipid metabolism has been suggested. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between chronic periodontitis and serum lipid levels. materials and methods. thirty patients with chronic periodontitis (the community periodontal index of treatment ne...

AIMS Lipoproteins and lipids, especially lipoprotein(a), have been studied as risk factors for restenosis after coronary angioplasty with conflicting results. We investigated the association between serum levels of lipoprotein(a) apolipoprotein A-1, apolipoprotein B-100, total-cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides, and coronary luminal loss and restenosis after angiop...

Substantial data are available to indicate that the diet influences serum levels of cholesterol and lipoproteins. These data are derived from studies in laboratory animals, from epidemiologic studies, and from human investigations. Most research has focused on effects of diet on serum total cholesterol concentrations. In recent years, however, attention has shifted to individual lipoproteins, i...

When nephrosis was recognized as a clinical entity, an increased concentration of serum cholesterol was observed to be a consistent feature of the syndrome (1). Later it was found that phospholipid and triglyceride also are increased in nephrosis (2-5). The increase in serum lipids in nephrosis is usually greatest in the cases with the lowest levels of serum albumin. It has not been established...

in order to determine the lipids and lipoproteins profiles in iranian khouzestanian arab horses, blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 77 horses(47 female, 30 male) from different age groups(< 6, 7-12, 12-36, 37-60, 61- 69 and > 96 months). serum cholesterol and triglyceride were measured by enzymatic methods and lipoproteins by precipitation methods. the results were analyzed b...
