Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with modified-hen-egg-yolk on plasma lipids and lipoprotein profiles in rats. During four-week-experiment, 64 Wistar rats were divided into four groups 16 (eight both sexes), fed commercial rat food (group C); containing 70% mixture 30% freshly cooked egg yolk originating from laying hen eggs 3% fish oil F); palm ol...

People with type 2 Diabetes have an elevated risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) for which dyslipidemia is the major contributor. Diabetic patients have characteristic pattern of dyslipidemia with decreased level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and elevated triglycerides (TG) level. However, in diabetes mellitus, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) which is ...

Therapies targeting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol content (HDL-C) have not improved coronary heart disease (CHD) outcomes. High-density lipoprotein particle concentration (HDL-P) may better predict CHD. However, the impact of race/ethnicity on the relations between HDL-P and subclinical atherosclerosis and incident CHD events has not been described. Participants from the Dallas Heart Stu...

Plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) levels do not predict functionality and composition of high-density lipoprotein(HDL). Traditionally, keeping levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) down and HDL-C up have been the goal of patients to prevent atherosclerosis that can lead to coronary vascular disease(CVD). People think about the HDL present in their cholesterol tes...

Wolman disease is a very rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder. The patients have the typical clinical finding of hepatosplenomegaly but with an abnormal lipid profile high levels total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), low level high-density (HDL-C). We report 1-month-old boy who had atypical TC level, both LDL-C HDL-C. study revealed compound heterozygo...

Diet-induced weight loss in women may be associated with decreases not only in plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), but also in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Whether a decrease in HDL-C is associated with altered HDL function is unknown. One hundred overweight or obese women (age 46 ± 11 years, 60 black; 12 diabetic) were enrolled in the 6-month program ...

BACKGROUND Few studies simultaneously investigated lipids and lipoprotein biomarkers as predictors of ischemic stroke. The value of these biomarkers as independent predictors of ischemic stroke remains controversial. METHODS We conducted a prospective nested case-control study among postmenopausal women from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study to assess the relationship between ...

Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in patients with diabetes, and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is a better predictor of CVDs than low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with diabetes. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the distribution of non-HDL-C and the prevalence of high non-HDL-C level in Chinese patients with diabetes ...

Introduction Oestrogens protect against coronary artery disease (CAD) [l-31. An estimated 2540% of this protective effect can be attributed to changes in fasting plasma lipids [4]. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations are reduced [5,6] as the result of enhanced clearance of atherogenic LDL particles by upregulated LDL receptors [7,8]. The production of highdensity lipoprotei...
