Atherogenic dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease in patients with DM and characterized with high level of lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)) and low level of adiponectin. Adiponectin serves as a regulator in glucose and lipid metabolism therefore is essential for maintaining response to insulin. Lp (a) is a cholesterol rich compound, so agents with hypoglycemic properties are su...

Monocyte chemotactic protein-3 (MCP-3), a chemokine that is in a superfamily of structurally related small chemotactic cytokines involved in leukocyte trafficking, is regarded as a key factor in atherogenesis. In this study, we examined the changes in atherogenic parameters including hepatic lipid accumulation and oxidative balance in MCP- 3-overexpressing transgenic mice (MCP-3 mice) under ath...

Background. The problem of studying lipid metabolism in patients with tuberculosis is interest to scientists around the world. purpose study - investigate profile pulmonary concurrent insulin resistance. Materials and methods. Forty-one were examined. Insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol level (TC), triglycerides (TG) level, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low (LDL)...

Introduction: The alteration in serum lipid profile; increase in total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TAG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); and reduction in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are key factors in cardiovascular disease progression. The high prevalence and severity of cardiovascular diseases require new screening tools for better evaluation. Atheroge...

BACKGROUND Menopausal health in our environment has received little attention. As an independent risk factor for dyslipidaemia, the degree and pattern of derangement, though difficult to assess may adversely affect the cardiovascular health of our women. OBJECTIVES To estimate the serum lipid profile and the atherogenic index of plasma in normal post menopausal women. METHODS This is a cros...

From a young age, males are at higher cardiovascular risk than females. Dyslipidemia, including a higher burden related to small low-density lipoproteins (LDL), plays an important role in precipitating atherosclerosis in both males and females. We investigated sex differences in atherogenic lipoprotein burden and the independent predictors of LDL particle size in children and adolescents. We me...

The role of serum lipids [total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG)] in the pathophysiology of mood disorders is not clear. The aim of this study was to determine lipid profiles in patients with affective disorders. The study included medication-free female subjects (41 patients with bipolar disorder, 22 ...
