INTRODUCTION Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Atherosclerosis begins in early childhood and progresses through life. With advances in pediatric cardiology, the prevalence of congenital heart disease in adults has increased in relation to children. A great deal of research has been conducted on serum glucose and lipid con...

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 and f...

Introduction The problem of atherosclerosis is one of great complexity. Clinically we are concerned with an end result arterial obstruction which is the resultant of a multitude of precursor mechanisms, some external, some internal, many of them interdependent and interacting. We may start with our particular area of study, but if we follow it through, it will often become confluent with others...

the aim of the present study was to clarify if old n-mri rat, a strain which is easily available in iran and cheap to maintain, is a suitable alternative to those previously reported. in this model, we compared three quantifiable parameters between old and young rats: biochemically, involving measurement of differences in the lipid profile. histologically, the differences of the thickness of th...

Background and Aims: A transient increase of blood concentration of lipids after meal is able to increase the risk of atherogenesis. This study aimed to determine the effects of Anethum graveolens L. (dill) consumption on atherosclerosis and hepatic risk factors. Methods: In an experimental study, 32 male New Zealand rabbits were randomly allocated to four groups to receive normal diet, a d...

conclusions alterations in consumption of whole grains, vegetables, and added sugars are associated with body weight change, suggesting that it could be helpful in weight control. results in men, weight loss was significantly predicted only by decreased intake of added sugars (or: 2.21, 95% ci: 1.06-4.63). in women, weight gain was significantly predicted by decreased intake of whole grains (or...

Since the imposition of a lipid load might uncover latent defects in lipid absorption or transport, "normal" individuals, and those with atherosclerosis, were subjected to test meals of butter fat, and qualitative and quantitative aspects of serum lipids and lipoproteins were measured. In contrast to the metabolic defects in diabetes mellitus which can be uncovered by a glucose load, the metabo...
