abstract background: atherosclerosis and subsequent coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in iranian population. high serum lipid levels, especially the elevated level of low-density lipoprotein (ldl), have been shown to be strongly related to the development of atherosclerosis. the relationship between dietary glycemic index (gi) and lipid profile, particularly in nonwestern po...

There are many evidences that human serum paraoxonase activity modifies plasma lipid profile and paraoxonase has an antiatherogenic property. Non-selective beta-blockers affect plasma lipid profile too, but they have atherogenic property when patients take these drugs in long term. In this study the effect of propranolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, on paraoxonase activity was investigated. L...

Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL), or Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of lipoprotein metabolism, characterized by fat malabsorption, hypocholesterolemia retinitis pigmentosa, progressive neuropathy and acanthocytosis from early infancy. We describe the clinical and molecular characterization of a 6-month-old infant born of consanguineous, apparently healthy parents fr...

The global feeding on Western diet, which is enriched in fat and fructose, has been proposed to be a cause of metabolic disorder, including hepatic steatosis which is associated with oxidative stress. In the present study, we investigated the influence of co-treatment with phytochemical compounds, quercetin (Q), o-coumaric (CA) and berberine (BB) on the hepatic lipid profile and oxidative stres...

Introduction/Background: Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific, multisystem disorder characterized by various biochemical abnormalities. Dyslipidemia and Hyperuricemia have been shown to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of the disease and often precede clinical manifestations. Objectives: To evaluate Serum lipid profile and uric acid in preeclampsia subjects and to determine if there ...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age. It is characterized by menstrual disorders, hyperandrogenism (clinical and/or biochemical) and ultrasonographic features. It is well known that PCOS has unfavourable effects on carbohydrate metabolism, the parameters of cardiovascular disease and lipid profile. Mode of treatment is mainly gui...
