In dairy cattle, the increase in milk yield has been accompanied by a more negative energy balance during early lactation and a decrease in fertility. The 167 amino acid protein product of the ob gene was named leptin (derived from the Greek term ‘leptos’ meaning thin). The leptin hormone, as a 16-kDa protein is synthesized mainly by adipose tissue and is involved in regulation of food intake, ...

Introduction & Objective: The coronary artery disease (CAD) is the second cause of mortality in women over 40. The risk factors of CAD in females include: age over 55, BP>140/90, smoking and hyperlipidemia. As plasma lipoprotein level changes significantly during pregnancy, low density lipoprotein reaches its peak approximately in the week 36 of pregnancy. Hypercholesterolemia induced by pregna...
