AIM to describe the differences in plasma lipid profiles of 4 (four) Indonesian ethnic groups, i.e., Minangkabau, Sundanese, Javanese and Buginese. METHODS this cross sectional population study was consisted of adults aged 18 years and older. Lipid profile was assessed by collecting fasting blood samples among all the four ethnic groups. Sub samples of those 4 groups of ethnicity were randoml...

in order to find a prophylactic supplementation for individuals who are at risk of exposure to ionizing radiation, we attempted to evaluate the effect of vitamin e (vit-e), a biological free radical scavenger, on restoration of hepatic lipid peroxidation (lpo) and lipid profile (lp) changes induced by sublethal g- radiation in balb/c mice. the concentrations of cholesterol and phospholipid were...

To assess whether the type of fat ingested at breakfast can modify the plasma lipid profile and other cardiovascular risk variables in postmenopausal women at risk of cardiovascular disease, a longitudinal, randomized, and crossover study was carried out with postmenopausal women at risk of CVD. They were randomly assigned to eat each type of breakfast during one month: 6 study periods (breakfa...

Objective(s) The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Ramadan fasting and weight-lifting training on plasma volume, glucose, and lipids profile of male weight-lifter. Materials and Methods Forty male weight-lifters were recruited and divided into 4 groups (n=10 each) and as the following groups: control (C), fasting (F), training (T) and fasting-training (F-T). The T an...

The study was carried out to evaluate the influence of lipid blood plasma in patients with stable angina on some rheological properties of the erythrocytes. Our study revealed that atherogenic lipids increased erythrocyte’s aggregation, but level of high density lipoproteins has no affect on the aggregation. Erythrocyte deformability of red blood cells was not associated with the plasma lipid p...

OBJECTIVES To study the effect of different types of sports on plasma lipid profile. Subjects and method. Fasting plasma levels of total, LDL- and HDL-cholesterol (TC, LDLc, HDLc), triglycerides, phospholipids, apo A-I, apo B-100, and Lp(a) were measured in 28 swimmers, 17 volleyball players and 23 soccer players, and in a control group. All subjects participated in official national competitio...

Prolonged niacin treatment elicits beneficial effects on the plasma lipid and lipoprotein profile that is associated with a protective CVD risk profile. Acute niacin treatment inhibits nonesterified fatty acid release from adipocytes and stimulates prostaglandin release from skin Langerhans cells, but the acute effects diminish upon prolonged treatment, while the beneficial effects remain. To g...
