To study the role of Body Mass Index (BMI) and serum lipid profile molecules, as well their derivative indexes in primary pterygium patients. The patient group consisted 110 patients with diagnosed our center between January 2019 December 2020, while control 144 healthy persons similar age sex during same time period. BMI, molecules both groups were analyzed retrospectively. In group, 62 overwe...

The relationship between obesity and cardiovascular disease risk factors was assessed in 3622 males and 5025 females aged 20-70 years. Body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-height and waist-to-hip ratios were calculated. Obese men had a higher risk of hypertension, high total cholesterol (TC), high triglycerides (TG), high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and low high-densit...

Objective. To investigate the association between serum lipoprotein ratios and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Methods. 105 PCOS patients and 109 controls were randomly enrolled in the study. Serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), total testosterone (T), fasting glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), ser...

Ethanol extract of pawpaw seed was evaluated for a possible application in the management diabetes. Alloxan used to induce diabetes rats, which were subsequently study antihyperglycaemic effect extract. Four (4) treatment groups and two (2) control 8 rats each created using complete randomized design. Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density (LDL), ...

BACKGROUND T2DM is associated with atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD), defined as decreased HDL-C plus raised triglycerides (TG). AD confers increased risk for CAD, even when LDL-C is at target. AD is rarely assessed due to lack of screening methods consensus. AIM To establish the prevalence and severity of AD from log(TG)/HDL-C in T2DM males, and to determine how it relates to cardiometabolic phe...

AIM Nutritional parameters, such as B-vitamins, have not been studied for an association with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size. The present study explored whether serum vitamin levels, including folate and vitamin B-12, could be associated with LDL particle size. METHODS Using a randomly selected population of 255 hospital workers, we collected detailed lipid profiles, including tr...

The association between plasma apolipoprotein (apo) B concentrations and angiographically determined coronary artery disease (CAD) was investigated in women in a cross-sectional study. Stenosis of >60% in 1 or more coronary arteries was classified as CAD+. CAD- was defined as a maximum stenosis of 10% in any coronary artery. Fasting plasma concentrations of apoB, apoA-I, cholesterol (chol), low...

Blood lipid levels, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides (TG), are highly heritable traits and major risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Using individual ancestry estimates at marker locations across the genome, we present a novel quantitative admixture mapping analysis of all three lipid...

Cardiovascular and other blood related diseases are fast replacing communicable diseases; therefore there is need to constantly monitor our specific deleterious parameters and their associates. In this work, blood samples were collected to determine biochemical parameters: total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL C), low density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL-C), very low d...

Plasma lipid concentrations are complex traits having both environmental and genetic determinants. About half of the variation in HDL-C and TG may be genetic with the same genes possibly accounting for the correlated traits of LDL particle size, TG, and HDL-C. A number of variants in candidate genes have been implicated in the regulation of plasma lipid levels. In addition, genome scans have id...
