Monosomy for the X-Chromosome Is Associated with an Atherogenic Lipid Profile

Chlamydia pneumoniae antibodies are associated with an atherogenic lipid profile.

OBJECTIVE To determine, within a representative population group of men and women, whether alteration of the lipid profile might underlie the reported association between Chlamydia pneumoniae and ischaemic heart disease. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross sectional survey in an area with a high incidence of ischaemic heart disease. SUBJECTS 400 randomly selected participants in the World Health Organ...

The FTO Gene Is Associated With an Atherogenic Lipid Profile and Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Background—Common variation in the fat mass and obesity (FTO)–related gene is associated with increased body fat and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that this would also associate with metabolic phenotypes of insulin resistance and increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Methods and Results—FTO rs9939609 genotype was determined in 4897 patients with type 2 d...

Atherogenic serum lipid profile is an independent predictor for gouty flares in patients with gouty arthropathy.

OBJECTIVE Atherogenic serum lipid profile possesses pro-inflammatory properties and is associated with more active RA. While prevalent in patients with gout, whether atherogenic lipid profile is associated with gouty flares is unknown. This study aims to investigate whether atherogenic serum lipid predicts gouty flares in patients with gout. METHODS Adult patients (age > or =21 yrs) who suffe...

BMI is Associated with Serum Leptin and Lipid Profile

Aim: To find a possible association of serum leptin and lipid profile with obesity Place of study: The subjects were selected from Outpatient Department of Internal Medicine, Mayo Hospital and British Sliming Center. Methods: The consent from the patients was taken before their participation in this study. The subjects were classified into two categories; obese (BMI>30) and Non-Obese (BMI<25). ...
