conclusions these results demonstrate that the hypolipidemic and antioxidative effects of aqueous extract of e. caryophyllus might be due to its ability to ameliorate lipid profiles, enhance antioxidant activities, and delay the lipid peroxidation process. this confirms the previously identified protective roles of e. caryophyllus in human health. background eugenia caryophyllus (clove) is an i...

objectives: diabetes mellitusmanifests itself in a wide variety of complications and the symptoms of this disease are multifactorial. previousstudies proved that this disease is directly related to hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. the aim of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of hydroalcoholic extract of prangos frulacea (l.)lindlin alloxan-induced diabeti...

in the present study, we examined the antioxidative activities of satureja khuzestanica essential oil (ske) and possible protective effect of ske on lipid profile, atherogenic index and liver enzyme markers in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. thirty male rats were randomly divided into three groups; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, and group three treatments with ske b...

BACKGROUND Magnesium is the second most abundant intracellular cation. It plays an important role in insulin homeostasis and glucose metabolism through multiple enzymatic reactions. With increasing data on magnesium deficiency in diabetic patients and epidemiological studies demonstrating magnesium deficiency as a risk factor for diabetes, it is logical to search for its possible beneficial eff...

INTRODUCTION Unfavorable lipid profile is associated with developed cardiovascular diseases. It is necessary to know the beneficial effects of different mode exercises to improve lipid profile. OBJECTIVE To investigate, in obese men and women, the effect on lipid profile of hypocaloric diet combined with structured exercise programs or recommendations of physical activity. METHODS Ninety si...
