INTRODUCTION A low level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is an established predictor of the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). HDL promotes cellular cholesterol efflux and reverse cholesterol transport from lipid-laden macrophages (Figure 1), and prevents lipoprotein oxidation. A linear inverse relation has been reported in many observational studies between plasma HDL-C leve...

Positive assortative mating of baboons (Papio sp.) based on elevation of serum cholesterol concentrations in response to a cholesterol- and saturated fat-enriched diet produced 64 progeny (30 high line; 34 low line). When the animals were 3 to 4 years of age, we tested their lipoprotein cholesterol responses to dietary cholesterol and fat in a factorial experiment with two levels of dietary cho...

the aim of this study was investigating some blood parameters of blue-neck male ostriches (struthio camelus) with 4 months old after feeding a diet containing 3% sunflower oil for two months. in the morning, after about 12 h of fasting, some blood samples were collected from the wing vein of ostriches at the beginning and 60 days of study in department of animal sceince arak university . the pl...

OBJECTIVES Elevated blood cholesterol levels are a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. Probiotics have been investigated as potential cholesterol-lowering therapies, but no previous studies have assessed the effect of the probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii on cholesterol levels in human volunteers. The objective of this study was to examine ...

It is believed that the cyclic variations in sex hormones across the menstrual cycle may have effects on the lipid profile and hence on cardiovascular health. Thus, the purpose of study was to find out the serum levels of lipids and lipoprotein ratios in different phases of menstrual cycle in eumenorrheic women. One hundred and twenty young healthy female subjects of reproductive age group (17-...

background: the present study was undertaken to estimate and compare the levels of plasma total cholesterol (tc), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein (hdl), very low density lipoprotein (vldl) and triglycerides in patients with oral precancerous lesions/conditions, oral cancer and normal subjects. materials and methods: the study comprised of 60 patients with oral precancero...

Objective Dyslipidemia and insulin resistance (IR), occurring in most infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to assess the relationships between lipoprotein ratios and IR in PCOS women. MaterialsAndMethods Thirty six infertile women with PCOS selected based on Androgen Excess Society (AES) ...
