The aim of this study was to review the effects of pistachios on human health. Materials and Methods: This was a review study. Data were collected from PubMed and from among articles published from the year 2005 to 15 July 2015 using the keyword pistachio in combi...

Metabolic syndrome is clusters of dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Its prevalence increases in autoimmune diseases as RA. risk for cardiovascular ischemic heart disease, subclinical atherosclerosis, it preferred to detect metabolic factors RA patients, decreases better controlling activity.

OBJECTIVES An impaired heart rate response during exercise (chronotropic incompetence) and an impaired heart rate recovery (HRR) after exercise are predictors of cardiovascular risk and mortality. Cystatin C is a novel marker for cardiovascular disease. We aimed to investigate exercise electrocardiographic responses in patients with metabolic syndrome who were without overt diabetes mellitus, i...

CONTEXT Stress is suggested to lead to metabolic dysregulations as clustered in the metabolic syndrome, but the underlying biological mechanisms are not yet well understood. OBJECTIVE We examined the relationship between two main str systems, the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, with the metabolic syndrome and its components. DESIGN The design was ...

background: systolic blood pressure recovery (rsbp) is of prognostic value for predicting the survival and co-morbidity rate in patients with coronary artery disease (cad). this study investigated the association between rsbp and exercise indices after complete cardiac rehabilitation program (cr) in a population-based sample of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). methods...

BACKGROUND Depression is associated with increased physical morbidity and overall mortality. The results of a previous investigation on the relationship of the metabolic syndrome and its single components with coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality suggested that the metabolic syndrome is a marker of CVD risk, but not above and beyond the risk associated w...

the lipid accumulation product is a novel, safe and inexpensive index of central lipid over accumulation based on waist circumference and fasting concentration of circulating triglycerides. this study was designed to investigate the ability of lipid accumulation product to predict cardio-metabolic risk factors in postmenopausal women. in this cross-sectional study, 264 postmenopausal women by u...
