To evaluate the effect of intravenous infusion of a soybean based lipid emulsion (Lipovenoes 10%) on some blood constituents in sheep, a replicated 2 × 2 Latin square design experiment was conducted in four clinically healthy ewes. 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...

this study aimed at investigating the variations of blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen consumption and their relationship with body lipid profile in active and inactive students. 10 active students (mean age 21 yr, weight 68.1 kg and height 174.1 cm) and 10 inactive students (mean age 21.5 yr, weight 73.07 kg and height 177 cm) from shahid rajaee teacher training university who volunteered t...

A method to continuously separate different particle types in a suspension is reported. Acoustic forces in a standing wave field were utilized to discriminate lipid particles from erythrocytes in whole blood. The presented technology proposes a new method of cleaning, i.e. removing lipid emboli from, shed blood recovered during cardiac surgery. Blood contaminated with lipid particles enter a la...

Blood lipid measurement is an important component of the management of dyslipidemia. The accuracy of the detection results is the basic requirement for the effective management of dyslipidemia. Many factors influence the accuracy of blood lipid measurement results, including test participants and specimen conditions, measurement methods, instruments and reagents, and measurement manipulation. A...

background: previous studies have demonstrated that nuts consumption have beneficial effects on serum lipid profiles in hyperlipidemic or normolipidemic subjects. however, similar studies in diabetes field are quite rare. so, we aimed to investigate the effects of hazelnut consumption on fasting blood sugar (fbs) and lipid profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes. materials and methods: an 8 â...
