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 ...

background: unstable angina and myocardial infarction are developed due to atherosclerosis of coronary arteries. at present, cholestrol, triglyceride, and lipoproteins are the most common risk factors of death. the purpose of this study was to assess the serum levels of lp (a), ldl-c, vldl-c, hdl-c in cases of unstable angina and myocardial infarction.methods: this study was conducted to compar...

The advancing age of man brings its own specific problems to be dealt with. There is a gradually progressive decline in muscular strength, coordination , energy reserves, stress-tolerance, resistance to illness and ability to recover from illness. Joints get fibrosed, bones develop osteoporosis, muscles atrophy, skin becomes wrinkled and loses its elasticity and hair become thinner and grey. In...

Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) is the most widely used method for determining protein quality. The studies involved a few category of products as raw materials namely poultry products, beef burger products, fish and fish products, soy products and palm kernel cake in animal diet preparation were compiled to compare the data. Data from the proximate analysis showed that protein content in soy pr...

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMP-PK) is a multi substrate kinase with an important role in the regulation of mammalian lipid metabolism. The enzymes that regulate fatty acid and cholestrol biosynthesis are acetyl-CoA carboxylase and 3hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase, respectively. Hormonal regulation of each is achieved through their phosphorylation and inactivation by AMP-PK. Like many oth...
