BACKGROUND Recent studies have identified that a higher resting heart rate (RHR) is associated with elevated blood pressure, independent of body fatness, age and ethnicity. However, it is still unclear whether RHR can also be applied as a screening for other risk factors, such as hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. Thus, the purpose of the presented study was to analyze the association between RHR,...

Low plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC) with or without hypertriglyceridemia have been frequently described in a variety of hematologic disorders in which anemia is a prominent feature.2,3 It is well established that β-thalassemia is associated with changes in plasma lipids and lipoproteins. In β-thalassemia major, low cholesterol levels caused by a significant reduction of both low-density...

Ischaemic Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) has been shown to be associated with abnormal lipid profile (dyslipidaemia) as a risk factor. There is paucity of data regarding this in this environment hence this study. In this study, a total number of 63 subjects were recruited comprised of 33 patients with cerebrovascular accident (stroke) and 30 apparently healthy volunteers as control. A complete ...

conclusions high tc, tg and vldl were observed in our patients with sch. objectives the aim of this study was to assess differences in lipid profile parameters between subjects with and without sch in a north indian population. patients and methods serum lipid parameters of 70 patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and 100 age and sex matched euthyroid controls were evaluated in a cross-secti...

Objective(s): This study was to investigate the antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant effect of total flavonoid extract from Actinidia kolomikta (TFAK) in hyperlipidemia induced by a high-fat diet. Materials and Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal group, model (hyperlipidemic diet) group, hyperlipedemic diet supplemented with TFAK (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) and simvastat...

BACKGROUND Plasma total cholesterol (TC) levels are highly genetically determined. Although ample evidence of genetic determination of separate lipoprotein cholesterol levels has been reported, using TC level directly as a phenotype in a relatively large broad-gene based association study has not been reported to date. METHODS AND RESULTS We genotyped 361 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs...

There are inconsistent findings concerning the association between serum concentrations of lipid parameters and prostate cancer (PCa), particularly in Caucasian men. is limited data on men African ancestry. The study examined relationship total cholesterol (TC) levels its fractions PCa a hospital-based case-control Jamaica. TC, triglycerides (TG), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C...

background abnormal cholesterol homeostasis is associated with the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disease and cognitive impairment. objectives our objective was to evaluate changes in the expression of proteins related to cognition and cholesterol homeostasis in the hippocampi of rats as well as behavioral modifications following the administration of a cholesterol-rich diet. methods in this...

In order to investigate the role of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) in the cholesterolaemic response to dietary fats, we analysed plasma lipid profiles of CETP-transgenic and control C57BL/6 mice fed standard chow (AIN-93G; AIN), a low-fat diet, and diets high in butter (saturated fatty acids; SFA), high-oleic acid safflower oil (monounsaturated fatty acids; MUFA), and safflower oil (...

Background The total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio (TC/HDL-Cr) was proposed as a marker of coronary risk about 25 years ago by Dr. William Castelli and the suggested target was <4.5. The INTERHEART study showed that the ApoB / ApoA ratio is a predictor of cardiovascular events higher than the TC / HDLr. Many laboratories in our country do not have the technology to accurately measure apolip...
