The present study was undertaken to study the free radical activity in malaria patients suffering from plasmodium falciparum (n=14) and plasmodium vivax (n=21) against the healthy control subjects (n=25). Lipid peroxidation was assessed by measuring serum lipid peroxide in both groups of malaria patients by using Malondialdehyde as standard. The serum Ceruloplasmin is also studied along with se...

background and aims: dyslipidemia is one of the major factors implicated in the development of the vascular complications of diabetes. in this study, it was evaluated the association between serum lipids profile and hemoglobin a1c (hba1c) in type 2 diabetes mellitus. methods: in this cross-sectional study, the serum lipid profile and hba1c was studied on 562 iranian patients who were older than...

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), which has been shown to influence serum lipid parameters, can bind to multiple types of lipids and plays an important role in the metabolism and homeostasis of lipids and lipoproteins. A previous study showed that ApoE concentration significantly affects serum lipid levels independently of ApoE polymorphism. The serum lipid levels were also closely correlated with dieta...

INTRODUCTION Intravenous lipid is commonly used as part of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in premature babies. The gold standard of measuring lipid tolerance involves measuring serum triglyceride levels. Many hospitals in Asia do not have this facility and rely on visual turbidity to titrate the rate of lipid infusion. The aim of this study was to determine if visual turbidity correlates with...
