OBJECTIVE Treating dyslipidemia in diabetic patients is essential, particularly among minority populations with increased risk of complications. Because little is known about the impact of outpatient diabetes management on lipid outcomes, we examined changes in lipid profiles in urban African-Americans who attended a structured diabetes care program. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A retrospectiv...

BACKGROUND Antropometric measures with biochemical indicators have been used as screening tools for metabolic abnormalities in adolescents and adults. A few studies have assessed the relation of EWET (Enlarge waist Elevated triglyceride) phenotype with diabetes, especially among individuals with first relative history of diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the association of EWET phenotype w...

Abstract To analyze the relationship between systemic lipid profile levels and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) subtype in Korea. The ophthalmic data of 95 eyes serum profiles patients were reviewed. These factors compared with those general population using from Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), which evaluated 2,917 subjects. Of these, comparison group (1:5 ratio...

The influence of type fish consumption on cardiovascular risk profiles was studied in Sri Lankan community. Achallenge experiment set up to do a research the omega-3 fatty acid content cardiovascularrisk healthy people. Hundred undergraduates (subjects) who were between ages 23 30 yearsand full time resident hostels Lanka, randomly selected for this study. students fed with fishcurry and fried ...

Small, dense LDL particles are typical for FCHL. Intravascular lipid exchange and net transfer among HDL, LDL, and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins as well as lipolysis in the VLDL-IDL-LDL cascade regulate properties of LDL. We investigated postheparin plasma activities of hepatic lipase (HL) and LPL, and plasma activities of CETP and phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) in 191 individuals from 3...

Introduction Contraception is a method of avoiding unplanned pregnancy. Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) have become prominent birth control due to their contraceptive efficacy and acceptability profile. The use pills (OCPs) linked several health advantages as well problems. Oral can alter carbohydrate lipid metabolism, including increased in blood glucose, triglyceride, low density lipoprot...

BACKGROUND Recent clinical studies showed that lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A(2) (Lp-PLA(2)) is a predictor for incident atherosclerotic disease. We have previously shown that among the LDL subfractions, Lp-PLA(2) activity is preferentially associated with the atherogenic small, dense (sdLDL) particles in vitro. We investigated whether Lp-PLA(2) could be a marker of sdLDL in human plasm...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Dyslipidemia contributes significantly to CHD in diabetic patients, in whom lipid abnormalities include hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL cholesterol, and increased levels of small, dense LDL particles. To identify genes for lipid-related traits, we performed genome-wide linkage analyses for levels of...

male urogenital tract infection plays an important role in men infertility. asymptomatic bacteriospermia has been paid attention as a major cause of male infertility. the aim of this study was to microbiological investigation of semen sample of infertile men attending to infertility clinic and evaluation of the effects of bacteriospermia on semen quality. eighty eight infertile men were evaluat...
