No Association between Serum Lipids Levels and Lipids Oxidizability in Type 2 Diabetes

Objective: Diabetes is the most common metabolic disease. One of the most common problems in diabetic patients is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease which induced by hyperlipidemia. Also there has been currently great interest in the potential contribution of oxidative stress in development of diabetes complications. The present study was performed to associate between lipid oxidizability a...

Genetic analysis of a polymorphism in the human apoA-V gene: effect on plasma lipids.

Recent discovery and characterization of APOAV suggests a role in metabolism of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins. Previously, variation at the APOAV locus was shown to modestly influence plasma TGs in normolipidemic samples. The aims of this study were to assess the effects of a polymorphism in APOAV (T-1131C) in terms of its frequency among three dyslipidemic populations and a control popul...

Sectional Anatomy Quiz - V

In this series a pictorial quiz pertaining to identification of normal anatomical structures and landmarks at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) is presented. An image depicting normal anatomy is followed by a series of images showing different pathologies. Readers are expected to identify and appreciate variation and changes in the normal anatomy in presence of a given pathology. Th...
