background: regular moderate intensity physical activity and lipid lowering effects of nigella sativa(n. sativa) supplementation may be appropriate management for sedentary overweight females. therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of long-term n. sativasupplementation and aerobic training on lipid profile and maximal oxygen consumption (vo2max) in sedentary overweig...

the association between overt hypothyroidism and altered lipid profile is well known, whereas the significance of dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) is still a matter of debate. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the lipid profile in patients with sch in comparison to controls. serum lipid parameters of 34 patients with sch and 34 age- and sex-matched healthy controls we...

noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is the most common complication of long-term noise exposure, though there  are  some  other  complications  due  to  exposure  to  noise.  metabolic  complications  of  the  noise exposure are being evaluated in recent studies. we aimed to assess the relationship between nihl and lipid profile, and fasting blood sugar (fbs). in this cross-sectional  study, 462 ...

Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases are the most important cause of death in the world. Atherosclerosis, as a common form of cardiovascular disease, tends to involve specific areas of the circulatory system. Boron has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties with potential beneficial effects. In this study, we investigated the effect of Boron on histopathological changes of a...

objective(s) the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ramadan fasting and weight-lifting training on plasma volume, glucose, and lipids profile of male weight-lifter. materials and methods forty male weight-lifters were recruited and divided into 4 groups (n=10 each) and as the following groups: control (c), fasting (f), training (t) and fasting-training (f-t). the t and f...

UNLABELLED In humans, antidiabetics thiazolidinediones (TZDs) upregulate stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) gene in adipose tissue and increase plasma levels of SCD1 product palmitoleate, known to enhance muscle insulin sensitivity. Involvement of other tissues in the beneficial effects of TZDs on plasma lipid profile is unclear. In our previous study in mice, in which lipogenesis was suppressed ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Nicotine intake through tobacco is very common in female population of lower socioeconomic level who are deprived of healthy diet. Women suffer consequences of smoking such as cardiovascular disorder, lung related diseases and oxidative stress, etc. No data are available of the influences of nicotine on lipid profile, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes levels unde...
