conclusions there was no difference between the effects of 2 g of epa or dha supplementation for 12 weeks on the levels of total cholesterol, ldl-c, hdl-c, tc/hdl-c, tg/hdl-c, and ldl-c/hdl-c; however, it had a desirable effect on the level of tg in a way that the effect of dha was clearer. results from 105 included patients, 97 (31 in epa, 33 in dha, and 33 in control groups) completed the stu...

Background and Aims: Non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which reflects all cholesterol present in potentially atherogenic lipoprotein particles, might be a useful marker of atherosclerosis in diabetic subjects. In the present study, we evaluated the prevalence of high non-HDL-C in patients with dyslipidemia in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects following LDL-C assessment as t...

background: hypercholesterolemia is one of the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. it affects general health and increases cardiovascular mortality rate. diet with high cholesterol increases ldl that, inturn, decrease ldl receptors activity in liver. oxidation of vessel wall lipoproteins increases development of atherosclerosis. several evidences suggest that antioxidants consumption decre...

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. materials and methods: thirty six infertile women with pcos selected based on androgen excess society (a...

  Abstract   Background: obesity is directly related to dyslipidemia which contributes significantly   to the risk of coronary heart disease, a major cardiovascular disease and a serious   health problem. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of low calorie   diet and those of lovastatin on serum lipoproteins, apo B, homocysteine, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in hyperlipidemi...
