Because the ingestion of some types of dietary fibers has been shown to influence on the lipid and lipoprotein levels, it is possible that chitosan influences on lipid metabolism. In the present study, the effects of chitosan on the serum, liver lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in rat were investigated. Serum lipid level in the treatment groups were decreased compared to that of the control...

abstract objective: the aim of this study was evaluating the relationship between maternal serum lipid measured at 13-23 weeks of pregnancy and subsequent glucose intolerance. materials and methods: in a prospective study, 624 pregnant women prior to 23 weeks were eligible for the study. primarily, serum levels of total cholesterol, ldl cholesterol, hdl cholesterol, and triglyceride were measur...

background: acyclovir (acv), a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue, is known to be toxic to gonads. objective: the current study evaluated cytotoxicity of acv on histopathological changes in testis tissue and serum testosterone and lipid peroxidation concentrations of male rats. materials and methods: animals were divided into five groups. one group served as control and one group served as co...

objective: the present study was performed to compare the antioxidant effect of two different doses of zinc on lipid oxidation in type 2 diabetic patients. materials and methods: this double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 type 2 diabetic patients in yazd diabetes research center in 2008. the subjects were randomly allocated to receive zinc sulfate (iran, alhavi) either 2...

Objective: The effect of herbal medicine is more useful than synthetic medicines. The present research paper aims to show the effects of leaves extracts of Zizyphus Spina Christi (ZSC) on lipid profile, lipid peroxidation and activities of aminotransferase enzymes in streptozocin induced diabetic adult male rats. Materials and Methods: Fifty six male rats weighing 150-200 gm were included in t...

objective: numerous iranian veterans who took part in iraq-iran war have developed post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd). several studies demonstrated changes in serum lipid concentrations in chronic ptsd (cptsd) patients. the purpose of this study was to assess serum lipid concentrations in soldiers with cptsd and compare it with serum lipid concentrations in patients with chronic mdd (cmdd). ...

Clarity of high lipid sera is closely correlated with elevated proportions of serum phospholipids, and lipemia (milkiness) with low proportions of phospholipids. Clear high lipid sera occur uniquely in obstructive jaundice, both intra- and extrahepatic in origin. Destruction of the polar nature of serum "lecithin" by enzymatic hydrolysis, using Cl. welchii lecithinase, results in a degree of li...
