BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data about the best lipid ratio predicting the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with diabetes mellitus. We determined the relationship between five conventional lipid ratios and the extent of coronary artery lesions in Chinese Type 2 diabetics with stable angina pectoris (SAP). METHODS A prospective cohort study within 373 type 2 diabetic ...

Cardiometabolic risk factors at a young age pose significant for developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Atherogenic dyslipidemia is highly associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome already age. It remains unclear whether cardiometabolic associate the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP = log (TAG/HDL-C) lean subjects low risk. As both AIP markers are continuous variab...

QCD suggests that gluons in the nucleon play an important role in so-called " the proton spin problem ". In this talk, the behavior of the polarized gluon distribution in the nucleon is discussed by using the positivity condition of distribution functions together with the unpolarized and polarized experimental data.

background thyroid hormones play an important role in lipid metabolism. overt hypothyroidism is known to be associated with increased lipid profiles, but the effect of subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) on lipid profile remains controversial. objectives the aim of this study was to assess the association between thyroid disorders and serum lipid levels. materials and methods the present study was...

objectives: cow urine ark (cua), known as “amrita” as mentioned in ayurveda, contains‎ anti-hyperglycemic and antioxidant effects. therefore, we designed the present study to evaluate the lipid ‎lowering activity of cua and its possible implication in metabolic syndrome.‎ materials and methods: thirty guinea pigs of either sex were divided into five groups: group 1 and 2 serving as a vehicle ‎a...

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) exemplifies a major medical problem as it is the most considerable cause of morbidity and mortality. While sport conditioning specialists understand differentiate different benefits resistance training (RT) subtypes on athletic performance, this distinction less clear for health professionals when designing CVD risk reduction programs. Objectives: This s...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Human paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is responsible for the antioxidant effect of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) by inhibiting low-density lipoprotein oxidation. Previous studies discovered dyslipidemia (DL) and decreased PON1 activity in chronic renal failure (CRF). We aimed to determine PON and arylesterase activity, phenotypic distribution of the PON1 enzyme, and lipid profile in low a...
