(3) SERUM LIPID PROFILES IN XANTHOMA PATIENTS

Association Between 3\'APOB-VNTR Polymorphism and Plasma Lipid Profiles in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Objective: Apolipoprotein B (APOB) plays an important role in the metabolism of cholesterol and impairment in its function can lead to cholesterol accumulation in the pancreatic islets. It can then reduce insulin secretion and lead to Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of 3chr('39')APOB-VNTR polymorphism with plasma lipid profiles in T2DM indivi...

Serum lipid profiles in acute myocardial infarction patients in Gorgan

Acute myocardial infarction is one of the important reasons of death and unhealthiness in the world. The present study was undertaken to investigate the changes in serum lipids and lipoproteins in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This study was performed in the Biochemistry and Metabolic Disorder Research Center of Gorgan, Golestan province (South East of Caspian Sea), Iran in 2011.Th...

Serum Cytokines Profiles in Iranian Patients with Preeclampsia

Background: Preeclampsia is a major cause of mortality and morbidity and is also a leading cause of preterm birth and intrauterine growth retardation. Several studies have reported abnormal levels of cytokines in women with preeclampsia. Objectives: To detect serum levels of various cytokines in pregnant women with and without preeclampsia in the third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: Thirty pa...

Lipid Profiles and Lipid Oxidation in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Good Glycemic Control

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of good glycemic control on serum lipids levels and lipid peroxidation, and to find out the relationship between the level of malondialdehyde and HbA1c in type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty type 2 diabetic patients aged 40-60 years with the history of diabetes for more than 10 years were studied. Glycemic control was stable...
