Potentially atherogenic triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) remnants can be isolated and quantitated as remnant-like particles (RLP), using an immunoaffinity gel containing specific anti-human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and apoB-100 monoclonal antibodies. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between postprandial changes in RLP levels and changes in total serum triglyc...

background thyroid hormones play an important role in lipid metabolism. overt hypothyroidism is known to be associated with increased lipid profiles, but the effect of subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) on lipid profile remains controversial. objectives the aim of this study was to assess the association between thyroid disorders and serum lipid levels. materials and methods the present study was...

OBJECTIVE To study the differences between fluvastatin and pravastatin regarding LDL susceptibility to oxidation, plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, LDL-C and triglycerides (TG) in hypercholesterolemic patients with established coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS A double-blind randomized parallel study was conducted that included 41 hypercholesterolemic outpatients with CHD tr...

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 hyperlipidemic obese ...

background: the dramatic increase in the incidence of diabetes and its associated complications require a natural and safe solution to control and delay such complications. the present study tested the hypothesis that probiotics may affect biochemical indices of diabetic patients methods: thirty four types 2 diabetic patients aged between 25 to 65 years, and diagnosed with diabetes for less tha...

The impairments of protective mucosal immunity which cause susceptibility to oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) in HIV infection remain undefined. This study used a model of OPC in CD4C/HIV MutA transgenic (Tg) mice expressing Rev, Env, and Nef of HIV-1 to investigate the role of transgene expressing dendritic cells (DCs) and CD4+ T cells in maintenance of chronic oral carriage of Candida albicans...

Background: The dramatic increase in the incidence of diabetes and its associated complications require a natural and safe solution to control and delay such complications. The present study tested the hypothesis that probiotics may affect biochemical indices of diabetic patients Methods: Thirty four types 2 diabetic patients aged between 25 to 65 years, and diagnosed with diabetes for...

Background: Lifestyle changes, such as changes in sleep patterns and insufficient sleep have led to an increase in obesity and hyperlipidemia. The present study was conducted to investigate the association between abnormal lipid profile and obesity with sleep pattern among adult in Yazd adults in Shahedieh cohort study. Methods: This analytic cross-sectional study was carried out on the data of...

Trigeminal nerve fibers in nasal and oral cavities are sensitive to various environmental hazardous stimuli, which trigger many neurotoxic problems such as chronic migraine headache and trigeminal irritated disorders. However, the role of JNK kinase cascade and its epigenetic modulation of histone remodeling in trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons activated by environmental neurotoxins remains unkn...
