Obesity was associated with high serum vaspin concentrations and increased vaspin mRNA expression in human adipose tissue , insulin resistance, and type II diabetes. However, the mechanisms how vaspin secretion may be linked to deterioration of glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity are not understood. The aim of this work is to explore the effect of dietary regimen for 6 months on serum va...

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...

objectives: controversial findings exist regarding the association between neonate gender and umbilical cord blood lipid levels. this study aims to compare the levels of lipids and lipoprotein b-100 in the umbilical cord blood of male and female newborns and assess the impact of these factors on neonatal anthropometric measurements. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 75 health...

Diabetes mellitus is a common endocrine disorder. Anti-diabetic agents from natural and synthetic sources are available for the treatment of this disease. Berberis integerrima is a medicinal shrub used in conventional therapy for a number of diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of aqueous extract of Berberis integerrima root (AEBI) on some physiological paramete...

Introduction: During Ramadan, type and amount of energy intake dramatically change in Muslims and fasting individuals often reduce the duration and intensity of physical activities or avoid exercise during this month. However, one of the major issues of trainers and athletes is lack of training, which could have adverse effects on some cardiovascular parameters. Methods: This research was condu...

Introduction: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of pectin supplementation and 14 weeks of endurance training on the serum atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels and lipid profile of obese pregnant mice. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 40 female laboratory mice (mean weight: 30+5 g...

Increments of lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)) concentration during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have not been justified in the literature yet. We have investigated whether Lp (a) levels remain constant or increase during CPB and if high plasma levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL; containing apolipoprotein (apo) B) in hypercholesterolemic patients affect the assembly of Lp (a) (containing apoB: Apo ...

Background: Coronary artery disease today is a major contributor to mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular disease. The drug, interventional and surgical methods are used to treat coronary artery stenosis. Statins are the most commonly used drugs for stenosis and coronary artery disease. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of atorvastatin on L...

Objective(s)This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Ramadan fasting on body composition, aerobic and anaerobic power, strength, plasma lipids profile and serum glucose among collegiate wrestlers.Materials and Methods Fourteen male collegiate wrestlers (age, 20.12±2.5 yrs) volunteered as subjects for the study. Subjects were tested one week before the beginning of Ramadan, the last two...
