in order to determine the lipids and lipoproteins profiles in iranian khouzestanian arab horses, blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 77 horses(47 female, 30 male) from different age groups(< 6, 7-12, 12-36, 37-60, 61- 69 and > 96 months). serum cholesterol and triglyceride were measured by enzymatic methods and lipoproteins by precipitation methods. the results were analyzed b...

Aim: Altered lipid profile patterns have been associated with pre-malignancies and malignancies because lipids play a vital role in the maintenance of cell integrity. The present study evaluated alterations in serum lipid profile in untreated patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) and compared the changes in serum lipid profiles among various histological grades of OSF. Materials and metho...

research background approved weight loss would result in improvement of lipid profile. nowadays, weight management is attained by modifying psychological mediators, as well as dieting and making individuals do more physical activity. hence, this research was performed to compare effectiveness of different psychological interventions on lipid profile improvement among individuals with overweight...

Mobile lipids have been detected by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in animal and human tumors (cultured cells, biopsies, and in vivo), but their origin and subcellular location are still unclear. They have been associated with malignancy, metastatic ability, drug resistance, and necrosis. We wanted to determine whether these lipids are located within plasma membrane microdomains or in ...

Nearly all molecular dynamics simulations of bacterial membranes simplify the lipid bilayer by composing it of only one or two lipids. Previous attempts of developing a model E. coli membrane have used only 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (POPE) and (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol) POPG lipids. However, an important constituent of bacterial membranes are...

OBJECTIVE To examine the evidence regarding the impact of carvedilol on the serum lipid profile. DATA SOURCES Searches in MEDLINE and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts (1966-December 2007) were conducted. Search terms included carvedilol, cholesterol, lipids, hyperlipidemia, and beta-blockers. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Published studies and case reports that evaluated the imp...

The upper layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum (SC), is very important for skin barrier function. During the last trimester of gestation, the SC of the fetus is protected by a cheesy, white biofilm called vernix caseosa (VC). VC consists of water-containing corneocytes embedded in a lipid matrix and the basic structure shows certain similarities with the SC. This study aimed to character...

background: one of the main laboratory tests for evaluation of infertility is semen analysis (sa). however additional tests may be suggested for further diagnosis of male fertility potentials. the seminal fluid contains sperms non-sperm cells and various types of lipids and glucose. objective: the objective of this cross-sectional study was to correlate the sperm parameters with concentrations ...

abstractantioxidants are effective in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. lavandula officinalis possesses antioxidant activity, therefore, in this study, the effects of lavandula officinalis extract were investigated on serum lipids levels of rats. experimental mature male wistar rats were treated with 100, 200 or 400 mg/kg/day of lavender ethanolic extract or distilled water f...

Background: Serum lipids abnormalities have been observed in various forms of cancers including acute leukemia. Investigators report decreased total cholesterol and HDL, and elevated triglyceride in leukemic patients. Limited studies had been performed to discover the correlation between abnormal lipids profile and disease activity in leukemic patients in Iran. This study was done to evaluate t...
