introduction: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of high fiber diet on lipid profile of obese adolescent girls. methods: this randomized cross over clinical trial was conducted in southern iran. a total of 56 patients were randomly assigned into two groups. in the first phase, the experiment group had a high fiber diet while the control group consumed their usual diet for 2...

background: this study was done to test the notion that opium can reduce serum lipids and decrease the risk of ischemic heart disease (ihd) in opium addicts; we made a comparison between the lipid profiles of opium addicts and non-addicts.   methods: in this study, we compared 100 male opium addicts (according to the icd-10 criteria) who had referred to addiction treatment centers with 75 healt...

conclusions using baseline measurements of lipids led to considerable underestimation in the association of these factors with cvd outcome in tlgs. the underestimation increased with time interval between baseline and follow-up measurements for tc and tg. tc had more attenuation on estimated hr due to stronger relation with cvd risk. results by parametric method, based on reexamination three ye...

background periodontitis is a local chronic inflammatory condition of the supporting structures of the teeth resulting from a dental plaque biofilm attached to teeth surfaces. recent studies have indicated that this oral disease may have effects on systemic health. objectives the aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between periodontitis and hyperlipidemia. patients and meth...

introduction: abnormal lipid profile causes maternal mortality and impairs fetal development. this study investigated the effect of ramadan fasting on plasma lipid profile in pregnant women. material and methods: this self-control, cohort study was performed in healthy volunteer fasted pregnant women. serum cholesterol, triglyceride (tg), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein ...

conclusions according to the findings of this study, there is no relationship between shift work and changes in serum tg and cholesterol. the lack of relationship can be due to shift plans for shift workers, nutrition, or the “healthy heart project” at isfahan mobarakeh steel company. results the results showed a significant difference in cholesterol levels between shift workers and day workers...

objective: to report the case of a 28-year old hypercholesterolemic female with postpartum depression, whose triglyceride (tg) and total cholesterol (tc) levels decreased while being treated with fluoxetine. method: a 28-year old female, with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder with postpartum onset based on dsm-iv criteria, was hospitalized at a mental health hospital. her past history in...
