BACKGROUND There is evidence that body mass index (BMI) is closely related to hyperlipidemia. This study aimed to estimate the cross-sectional relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and hyperlipidemia. METHODS We recruited 21,435 subjects (aged 18-79 years and residing in Jilin province, China) using the multistage stratified cluster random sampling method. Subjects were interviewed with ...

The etiology of chronic urticaria (CU) is diverse, with chronic infections and inflammation being reported as considerable contributing factors. Although the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was found to be significantly elevated in patients with CU, no one has specifically estimated the effects on CU following hyperlipidemia. This study aimed to examine the association between hyperlipidemia a...

Lamivudine, an antiretroviral is commonly used in the treatment of HIV infections. Upon oral administration, it exhibits dose dependent toxic effects such as hepatotoxicity, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, lactic acidosis, lipodystropy, osteonecrosis. These side effects often require dosage reduction or even cessation of treatment. Thus, the problems associated with oral administration led us to...

The effects of fibre-enriched biscuit on biomarkers associated with hepatotoxicity in diabetic rats were investigated. Diabetes was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan monohydrate. Treatment lasted for 14 days after which the rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Blood serum was analyzed to determine hepatic function enzymes. The liver was also analyzed to determine h...

background: apolipoprotein a2 (apoa2) is the second major apolipoprotein of the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c). the study aim was to identify apoa2 gene variation in individuals within two extreme tails of hdl-c levels and its relationship with hdl-c level. methods: this cross-sectional survey was conducted on participants from tehran glucose and lipid study (tlgs) at research ins...

the purpose of the present survey was to determine the effects of the chitosan and atorvastatin on serum lipid profile changes and the influence of time on treatment process in cats. for the management of cholesterol induced hyperlipidemia, twenty-one healthy cats were randomly divided into three equal groups. group a (control) included seven cats that were fed with cholesterol powder (4 g/kg f...

background: we are aware of limited data about the effects of purslane on diabetes. earlier studies have mostly indicated the beneficial effects in animal models. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of purslane seeds on glycemic status and lipid profiles of persons with type 2 diabetes. materials and methods: this cross-over randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 48 persons w...

introduction: hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. nuts such as almonds are high in unsaturated lipids and antioxidants. some studies indicate that nuts have beneficial effects on cardiovascular system. therefore, the aim of this study was evaluation of the effectiveness of shelled almonds on reduction of blood lipid and lipoprotein levels in hyperlip...
