Abstract Background To determine the clinical value of multigene polymorphisms, LDL-C and sdLDL-C on T2DM therapy. Methods In total, 352 patients before after treatment 48 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. detected by Quantimetrix Lipoprint System. The 11 gene polymorphisms— HTR3B (rs2276307, A > G), APOE (rs7412, c.526C T), (rs429358, c.388 T C), CYP2C9*3 (rs1057910, c.1075A ...

BACKGROUND This study investigated associations of specific lipoprotein lipase (LPL) S447X and apolipoprotein (Apo)E allelic patterns with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) size and subfraction profiles in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and healthy individuals. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-one cases with CAD and 23 controls were compared regarding the occurrence of the Ser-->Stop codon...

The association of abdominal obesity with cardiovascular risk is often linked to altered secretion of adipose-derived factors and an abnormal lipid profile including formation of atherogenic small dense low density lipoprotein particles (sdLDL). Acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) is an adipose-derived hormone that exhibits potent lipogenic effects. Plasma ASP levels increase in obesity; howeve...

The exchangeable apolipoproteins present in small, dense LDL (sdLDL) and large, buoyant LDL subclasses were evaluated with a quantitative proteomic approach in patients with the metabolic syndrome and with type 2 diabetes, both with subclinical atherosclerosis and the B LDL phenotype. The analyses included surface-enhanced laser adsorption/ionization, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and subse...

Vitamin D deficiency is among important healthcare challenges today. Traditionally, vitamin status assessed through determination of 25-hydroxy metabolite (25(OH)D), but novel data point to 24,25(OH)2D and 25(OH)D/24,25(OH)2D ratio (VDMR) as promising biomarkers. It widely accepted that the biological role exceeds its well-known contribution bone turnover. However, effects on overall energy met...

OBJECTIVES Small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) which has a small LDL particle size with greater susceptibility to oxidation is regarded as a risk marker for cardiovascular disease. The diacron reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) test has recently been introduced as an oxidative stress-related marker in the clinic. The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between ...

  Abstract   Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been   highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense   LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by   arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density   lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...

<b>Background: </b>Recent research has demonstrated the possible relevance of bilirubin in metabolic and cardiovascular disorders. Lipid abnormalities are a major problem that is related with an increased risk disease diabetics. This study examined relationship between serum direct concentrations atherogenic lipids patients type 2 diabetes (T2DM).<br /> <b>Methods</b&...

Background: Homocysteine (tHcy) has emerged as a new risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) The Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms are seen to give rise high levels of tHcy which can be causative in the progression CVD due its thrombogenic effect. Serum cardiac biomarkers help diagnosis, prognosis, or surveillance CVD. present study evaluated association two MTHFR ...
