Background: The correlation between coronary artery disease and androgenic alopecia has been demonstrated, but the mechanism of this association still remains to be cleared. Objective: To investigate lipid profile, as an indicator of coronary artery disease, in women with female pattern alopecia. Methods: Fifty one women with female pattern alopecia and thirty one healthy women with normal hair...

objective(s) the sst-i polymorphic site on the 3' untranslated region of the apo ciii gene, has been previously reported to be associated with hypertriglyceridemia. the aim of the present study was to explore the association between sst-i polymorphism with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in hyperlipidemic (hlp) patients from semnan province, iran. materials and methods genomic dna was ...

sumac (rhus coriaria l.) is used as an herbal remedy in traditional medicine. the aim of this study was to determine the effects of sumac (rhus coriaria l.) on serum glycemic status, apolipoprotein (apo) b, apoa-i and total antioxidant capacity (tac) in type 2 diabetic patients. this double blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 41 type 2 diabetic volunteers randomly assign...

a major function of the enterocytes is absorption, processing, and export of dietary lipids into the lymphatic system. pluronic l-81 is a non-ionic hydrophobic surfactant, which specifically inhibits lipid absorption in the intestine when administered in vivo. this compound is therefore an attractive probe to perturb and investigate the molecular and intracellular events in chylomicron assembly...

The polymorphism of apolipoprotein E (apo E) accounts for a substantial amount of the genetic variance of cholesterol levels in man. The epsilon-2 allele and the epsilon-4 allele raises plasma and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels as compared to the epsilon-3 allele. Whereas the lower cholesterol levels in carriers of the epsilon-2 allele can, at least in part, be attributed to the gro...
