The objective was to study the pathophysiology of the dyslipidaemia in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients, and to determine how it is related to hyperinsulinaemia, hyperandrogenism and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S) concentrations. The lipoprotein lipid profile, anthropometric measurements, endocrine profile and the presence of insulin resistance were evaluated in 31 PCOS pat...

Abstract Background Few studies have developed risk models for dyslipidaemia, especially rural populations.

The purpose this study is to develop and evaluate prediction with without Methods A total 3596 individuals from Henan Rural Cohort Study were included study. According ratio 7:3, all divided...

Benefits of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors control are well known, but goals achievement remains low. The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of CVD risk factors among men ina worker's cohort with no previous CVD, to study control variations across time and the factors associated with poor control. To this end, we conducted a cohort reexamination (2010-2014) within ...

Sound data support the concept that in atherosclerosis, inflammation and dyslipidemia intersect each other and that irrespective of the initiator, both participate from the early stages to the ultimate fate of the atheromatous plaque. The two partakers manoeuvre a vicious circle in atheroma formation: dyslipidaemia triggers an inflammatory process and inflammation elicits dyslipidaemia. Indepen...

METHOD A cross sectional analysis of 192 diabetic patients consecutively recruited from patients attending the Diabetes clinic and 52 volunteering non-diabetic and non-hypertensive controls was undertaken. Th...

BACKGROUND The obese Zücker diabetic fatty male rat (ZDF:Gmi™-fa) is an animal model of type II diabetes associated with obesity and related metabolic disturbances like dyslipidaemia and diabetic nephropathy. In addition, diabetic dyslipidaemia has been linked to vascular and glomerular damage too. Dietary fat restriction is a current strategy to tackle obesity and, telmisartan, as a renoprotec...
