OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of probiotic Lactobacillus on serum lipids using a meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials. METHODS Fifteen studies containing 15 trials, with 976 subjects were included. The pooled WMD was calculated by random effects model. RESULTS Probiotic Lactobacillus consumption significantly reduced TC by 0.26mmol/l (95% CI, -0.40 to -0.12) and LDL-C by 0.23mm...

Dyslipidemia is elevation of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), or both, or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level that contributes to the development of atherosclerosis, which is a hallmark of diabetes. This research determined the influence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (Type 2 DM) on lipid profile of diabetic patients reporting in a tertiary hospital in Haryana....

We assessed lipid and lipoprotein levels in 100 women taking low-dose COCs and a control group of 100 non-users attending the family planning centre Basra Maternity and Child Hospital, Iraq. Venous blood was collected after 12-14 hours fasting, and serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and very ...

In Qatar, laparoscopic gastric sleeve (LGS) is a key surgical method for obesity treatment. This study assessed its impact on the lipid profiles of 863 obese patients, some with hyperlipidemia. Spanning five years (2015-2020), research monitored metrics like total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density (HDL). Post-LGS, TC, LDL levels decreased after...

BACKGROUND The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HW) phenotype has been shown to be strongly associated with metabolic abnormalities; however, to date, no study has reported the prediction of metabolic abnormalities using the HW phenotype along with waist circumference (WC) and the triglyceride (TG) level or various phenotypes consisting of an individual anthropometric index combined with the TG leve...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the effect of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels on renal function decline in patients receiving specialized pre-dialysis care. METHODS In the prospective PREPARE-2 study, incident patients starting pre-dialysis care were included when referred to one of the 25 participating Dutch...

ABSTRACTOBJECTIVE: Investigation of blood lipid profile in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, there were 100 participants, whom 50 patients with POAG and non-POAG consulted the ophthalmology clinic. Levels lipids including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density (HDL), triglyceride (TG) investigated. Data compared t-test, Mann Whitney ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of ezetimibe administered with simvastatin in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia. BACKGROUND Despite the availability of statins, many patients do not achieve lipid targets. Combination therapy with lipid-lowering agents that act via a complementary pathway may allow additional patients to achieve recommended c...

Several drugs used for standard antihypertensive therapy may also interact with the lipoprotein metabolism. The following has been observed after 1 to 12 months of treatment. Various thiazide-type diuretics may significantly increase the potentially atherogenic serum low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and/or very-LDL-C-fractions, while the antiatherogenic high-density-lipoprotein chole...
