paraoxonase-1 (pon1) is a serum hdl-bound enzyme that hydrolyzes a number of aromatic carboxylic acid esters including lipid peroxides, preventing ldl oxidation. systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) patients are at greater risk of oxidative stress, which is associated with abnormal plasma lipid metabolism. in this study, association of pon-55 polymorphism with serum arylesterase (are) activities,...

background: control of blood sugar, hypertension, and dyslipidemia are key factors in diabetes management. cucurbita ficifolia (pumpkin) is a vegetable which has been used traditionally as a remedy for diabetes in iran. in addition, consumption of probiotics may have beneficial effects on people with type 2 diabetes. the aim of this study was an investigation of the effects of c. ficifolia and ...

objective: dietary changes playmajor risk roles in oxidative stress andcardiovascular disease and modulate normal metabolic function. the present study was designed to investigate the ameliorative potential of different extracts of hemidesmus indicus to experimental high-fat diet in wistar rats, and their possible mechanism of action.  materials and methods: male wistar rats were divided into 6...

  Background and Objectives:  Helicobacter pylori cause a chronic gastric infection, and may cause extra gastrointestinal disease. The association between H. pylori infection and serum lipid profiles is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate any possible relationship between H. pylori infection and lipid levels. Materials and Methods: The subj...

abstract background: atherosclerosis and subsequent coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in iranian population. high serum lipid levels, especially the elevated level of low-density lipoprotein (ldl), have been shown to be strongly related to the development of atherosclerosis. the relationship between dietary glycemic index (gi) and lipid profile, particularly in nonwestern po...

There are many evidences that human serum paraoxonase activity modifies plasma lipid profile and paraoxonase has an antiatherogenic property. Non-selective beta-blockers affect plasma lipid profile too, but they have atherogenic property when patients take these drugs in long term. In this study the effect of propranolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, on paraoxonase activity was investigated. L...
