Background and Objective: Lowering serum glucose and lipid levels in diabetic patients by using natural materials is of great importance. In this study, the effect of oral consumption of Fumaria Parviflora Lamwas was assessed on serum glucose and lipid levels in streptozocin diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 32 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups of co...

Low plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and is frequently associated with high triglyceride concentration. Both of these abnormalities have been related to insulin resistance as estimated by plasma insulin concentrations and to measures of obesity, regional adiposity, and physical fitness. To determine which of these ...

objective: to study the effects of a high dose alpha-tocopherol on serum total cholesterol (tc), triglyceride (tg), and the high density lipoprotein (hdl) levels of patients with schizophrenia receiving olanzapine. method: thirty six adults diagnosed with schizophrenia based on dsm-iv who were taking olanzapine for a minimum of thirty days entered this eight-week, double blind, placebo-controll...

Background: Dyslipidemia is a lipid metabolism disorder that causes changes in plasma lipoprotein function and/or levels of Triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and High-Density (HDL). Administration Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) non-pharmacological therapy effectively improves profiles reduces the risk dyslipidemia. Objectives: This study aimed to conduc...

OBJECTIVE To study the lipid pattern of Nepalese population. DESIGN Retrospective study Setting: Patients attending Temple of Healing for consultation. METHODS Fasting lipid profile of 2218 blood samples was analyzed. RESULTS Abnormal total cholesterol (TC) was found in 7.7%. High LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) was found in 5% of cases. 70% of subjects had triglyceride(TG) level more than the up...

OBJECTIVE To investigate relationships between baseline factors and treatment-associated efficacy changes in type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Multivariable analyses of treatment response in 1,229 type 2 diabetic patients with hypercholesterolemia who received ezetimibe/simvastatin or atorvastatin in a randomized double-blind 6-week study. RESULTS Increasing age was related to im...

In surveys of 4860 middle-aged men in Caerphilly (South Wales) and Speedwell (Bristol) alcohol consumption has been related to high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and its major subfractions, HDL2 and HDL3, measured in a single fasting blood sample. The results confirm that high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration increases as the amount of alcohol regularly consumed increases. ...

visfatin is a newly discovered adipokine which increases along with obesity. it is not clear whether rhythmic aerobic endurance exercise training which induces changes in adipose tissue and blood lipid might decrease the plasma visfatin level. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of rhythmic aerobic endurance exercise training on rest visfatin levels some metabolic risk factors in ob...

background and objectives:  helicobacter pylori cause a chronic gastric infection, and may cause extra gastrointestinal disease. the association between h. pylori infection and serum lipid profiles is still controversial. the aim of this study was to investigate any possible relationship between h. pylori infection and lipid levels. materials and methods: the subjects were 400 volunteer referr...

Overview: Lipoproteins are spherical particles that carry lipids, particularly cholesterol and triglyceride, in the plasma. There is a well-established association between dyslipidemias, or disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, and coronary heart disease (CHD): elevated levels of blood cholesterol, especially low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and low levels of high-density lipoprotein...
