background: infants of diabetic mothers (idm) is a critical issue in pediatrics, which is regarded as a major risk factor for birth trauma, respiratory distress syndrome (rds), birth asphyxia, transient tachypnea of the newborn (ttn) and jaundice. idm is also a risk factor for microvascular (e.g., ocular and renal complications) and macrovascular complications (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, a...

cytotoxicity of depleted uranium, as a byproduct of military has been came to spotlight in recent decades. du is known as a chemical rather than radioactive hazard and efforts to illustrating its mechanism is undergo, but the precise complete molecular mechanisms are still unclear. recent studies showed that uranium induces biological changes in many different target tissues, such as the kidney...

objective(s): the increasing use of methamphetamine (meth) in the last decades has made it the second most abused drug. advancs in the area of intravenous lipid emulsion (ile) have led to its potential application in the treatment of poisoning. the present study aims to investigate the potential role of ile as an antidote for acute meth poisoning. materials and methods: two groups of six male r...

background: regular moderate intensity physical activity and lipid lowering effects of nigella sativa(n. sativa) supplementation may be appropriate management for sedentary overweight females. therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of long-term n. sativasupplementation and aerobic training on lipid profile and maximal oxygen consumption (vo2max) in sedentary overweig...

the concentration of adiponectin, a hormone which is secreted from adipose tissue, is inversely correlated with body fat mass. this hormone has anti inflammatory and anti atherogenic properties. its concentration reduces in metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. this study reviews the evidence on the relationship between serum adiponectin concentration and lipid profile. in this study ...

the association between overt hypothyroidism and altered lipid profile is well known, whereas the significance of dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) is still a matter of debate. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the lipid profile in patients with sch in comparison to controls. serum lipid parameters of 34 patients with sch and 34 age- and sex-matched healthy controls we...

introduction: serum lipid disorders are one of the important risk factors for development of coronary arterial atherosclerosis. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of the drug lovastatin and a liquid vegetable extract (dill) on blood plasma lipid levels of rats. methods: in this experimental study, 32 mouse vistar rats weighing 250±30 grams were included and maintained at 23±1 degr...

background and objective type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic, progressive illness that causes considerable morbidity and mortality. despite recent technical advances in therapy, more people are using alternative therapies. in this study evaluated the effect of sodium metavanadate on glucose levels and lipid profile in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.   methods this is a randomized, controll...

background: physical exercise and herbal treatment with antioxidant property induce a favorable effect on glucose metabolism in diabetic patients. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of resistance training combined with green tea extract consumption on blood glucose and lipid profile in diabetic rats. forty male wistar diabetic rats aged 5 months and weights 290 ± 20 wer...

background: obesity is associated with increased lipid peroxidation. it has also been suggested that risk of lipid peroxida­tion increases with increasing body iron stores. the aim of this study was to examine the association of body iron status with the concentration of plasma malondialdehyde (p-mda) as a marker of lipid peroxidation in obese and non-obese women. methods: in a case control stu...
