nutritional deficiency. This condition has been used as a convenient sign in routine nutritional surveys in India as an index of vitamin A deficiency.

They described in their paper that there was little doubt that phrynoderma was associated with diet deficiency. But further work was required to establish the precise relationship. The amount of animal and vegetable fat (from fish and coconut) consumed by people in Malabar was relatively high, compared with other parts of the province where phrynoderma was

Lipid emulsion (LE group) or normal saline (NS group) was infused intravenously at a rate of 0.025 mL kg-1 per min for 6 hr and the concentrations of bloo...
متن کاملChanges in Blood Lipids and Enzymatic Reactions in Response to Atorvastatin Administration Following a High-Fat Diet in a NAFLD Rat Model
Background and objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease caused by the accumulation of large amounts of fat in the hepatocytes. Given that atorvastatin is effective for treatment of NAFLD, the present study investigated effects of high-fat/fructose diet (HFFD) with atorvastatin on liver enzymes and lipid profile in a NAFLD rat model. Methods: Thirty-two m...

Extended Abstract 1.Introduction According to the World Health Organization (2010), cardiovascular disease (CHD) is the most common cause of death worldwide (1). Sadeghpour et al. (2010) have shown that one of the most common problems after coronary artery bypass grafting is extensive hemodynamic changes. Incomplete drainage of blood and blood fluid from the pericardium and pleura reduces hea...
