BACKGROUND Alterations in serum lipids have long been associated with cancer as lipids play an important role in maintenance of cell integrity. AIMS To evaluate alterations in plasma lipid profile in oral cancer patients, to compare and correlate the serum lipid profile in different grades of carcinoma and to evaluate the correlation of serum lipid profile between the tobacco habituates and n...

Menopause may increase risk of hypertension and abnormal lipid profile. The aim of the study was to examine the effects of morning and afternoon aerobic exercises on hypertension and lipids in overweight hypertensive postmenopausal women. Forty five women aged from 49 to 60 years were randomly assigned into three groups. Group (A) 15 patients received medicine, (B) 15 patients performed morning...

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a subset of nonconventional T cells recognizing endogenous and/or exogenous glycolipid antigens in the context of CD1d molecules. It remains unclear whether innate stimuli can modify the profile of endogenous lipids recognized by iNKT cells on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We report that activation of human APCs by Toll-like receptor...

background: studies demonstrated controversial results on subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) regarding lipid profile alteration with or without levothyroxine treatment. the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of levothyroxine on serum lipids in sch. materials and methods: one hundred patients with sch referred to taleghani hospital in kermanshah were recruited and randomly assigne...

BACKGROUND Subjects born small (SGA) and large (LGA) for gestational age have an increased risk of cardio-metabolic alterations already during prepuberty. Nevertheless, the progression of their cardio-metabolic profile from childhood to adolescence has not been fully explored. Our aim was to assess potential changes in the cardio-metabolic profile from childhood to adolescence in subjects born ...

background: a close relationship has been reported between level of serum iron and ischemic heart diseases which is either brought about through direct effect of serum iron on myocardial cells or as an indirect result of elevated serum lipid profile. a widespread use of iron supplements has been observed due to the high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia. yet an elevated serum lipid is strong...

conclusions these results indicated that chronic administration of mdma affects liver as well as lipoprotein profile in male rats. the exact mechanism of action needs further investigation. background ecstasy is used to improve mood and cordiality; however, based on some reports, it is neurotoxic to human users. objectives because of the euphoria induced by mdma (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetami...
