BACKGROUND Information about the interactions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and overweight/obesity on serum lipid profiles is still scarce. The present study was undertaken to detect ten SNPs and their interactions with overweight/obesity on serum lipid levels. METHODS A total of 978 normal weight and 751 overweight/obese subjects of Bai Ku Yao were randomly selected from our prev...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the impact of the substitution of a rich diet in saturated fats with a rich diet in monounsaturated fats on anthropometric, metabolic and lipid profile in postmenopausal women. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, longitudinal and comparative study where 18 postmenopausal women participated in two periods of dietary intervention of 28 days each one: 1) (SAT diet) consumed ...

OBJECTIVE This prospective study was designed to investigate the relationship between lipids levels in both serum and seminal plasma and semen parameters. METHODS 631 subfertile men were enrolled. Their obesity-associated markers were measured, and semen parameters were analyzed. Also, seminal plasma and serum TC, TG, HDL and LDL and serum FFA, FSH, LH, total testosterone (TT), estradiol (E2)...

BACKGROUND A residual risk of cardiovascular disease tends to persist despite standard prevention therapy with statins. This may stem partly from increased oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. However, how oxidized LDL can be further reduced beyond statin therapy in high-risk diabetes patients remains unclear. We aimed to clarify the clinical factors associated with oxidized LDL level...

It is believed that the cyclic variations in sex hormones across the menstrual cycle may have effects on the lipid profile and hence on cardiovascular health. Thus, the purpose of study was to find out the serum levels of lipids and lipoprotein ratios in different phases of menstrual cycle in eumenorrheic women. One hundred and twenty young healthy female subjects of reproductive age group (17-...

OBJECTIVE The body mass index (BMI) standard deviation score (SDS) may not adequately reflect changes in fat mass during childhood obesity treatment. This study aimed to investigate associations between BMI SDS, body composition, and fasting plasma lipid concentrations at baseline and during childhood obesity treatment. METHODS 876 children and adolescents (498 girls) with overweight/obesity,...

Aim: The aim of this study is to understand the pattern dyslipidemia, lipid radicals and antioxidant activities in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome reproductive-aged Nigerian women. Methodology: Original randomized case-control studies assessing comparative patterns panels PCOS Nigeria published between 1st January 2019 31st December 2020 were identified by searching online databases, inc...

BACKGROUND Urtica dioica has been used as antihypertensive, antihyperlipidemic and antidiabetic herbal medicine. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Urtica dioica on fructose-induced insulin resistance rats. METHODS Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups including control, fructose, extract 50, extract 100 and extract 200. The ...

Determination of the circulating levels of plasma lipoproteins HDL, LDL, and VLDL is critical in the assessment of risk of coronary heart disease. More recently it has become apparent that the LDL subclass pattern is a further important diagnostic parameter. The reference method for separation of plasma lipoproteins is ultracentrifugation. However, current methods often involve prolonged centri...

In the present work we investigated HDL-C and its subfractions HDL2 and HDL3 as well as total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), LDL-C, VLDL-C, apolipoproteins A1 (ApoA1) and B (ApoB) and lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a) in 25 patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) before and after induction treatment. The mean basal plasma levels of TC, HDL-C and its subfractions, LDL-C, and A...
