background: dyslipidemia is considered an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (chd). in the present study, we examined lipid profiles and paraoxonase 1 (pon1) activity and atherogenic indexes status and the relationship of pon1 activity by high-density lipoprotein (hdl) and atherogenic indexes in chd patients and healthy people. methods: the aim of the study was to compare pon1, ...

Atherosclerosis begins in childhood. Protection from atherosclerosis is provided by high-density lipoprotein (HDL), a heterogeneous particle, which includes several subclasses differing in size, density and apolipoprotein content. The objective of this study was to document the relevance of assessing HDL particle size as another feature of dyslipidemia related to the develpment of atheosclerosi...

BACKGROUND The association between dyslipidaemia, obesity and hypertension is well established, and all have been found to be risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). AIM To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity, plasma lipid profile and atherogenic indices as markers for CVD among civil servants. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Two hundred and five (205) apparently healthy civil se...

Background: Cardiovascular disease is a common cause of death in developed countries and also is a rising trend in developing countries. Aim: The objective of this study was to compare lipid profile and atherogenic indices in term and preterm neonates. Methods: A total of 60 neonates were selected which were grouped on the basis of gestational age and birth weight. Umbilical venous blood was co...
