objective(s): this study aims to investigate joint association between cholesterol ester transfer protein (cetp) polymorphisms and body mass index (bmi) or birth weight with the risk of dyslipidemia in iranian children and adolescents. materials and methods:this study was conducted as a sub-study of the “school-based nationwide health survey” (caspian-iii). we randomly selected 750 samples from...

Dyslipidemia is a crucial risk factor for atherosclerosis , and an abnormal metabolic condition characterized by disorders in lipid profile . Dyslipidemia is a critical yet controllable risk factor in coronary vascular disease (CVD) which cause deaths . Antioxidant activity of sumac fruits against lipid peroxidation and free radicals was reported previously .

objective(s) this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of niacin on glucocorticoid-induced dyslipidemia and fatty liver in rats. materials and methods twenty four adult male rats were divided randomly into four equal groups: 1- normal saline (control), 2- dexamathasone 0.125 mg/kg/day, i.m., 3- dexamathasone + niacin 200 mg/kg/day, oral gavages, 4- niacin. after 2 weeks, serum total chol...

background and objective: dyslipidemia has become a common problem in human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) disease, especially in patients on combination antiretroviral therapy. in this study we aimed to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and metabolic abnormalities in 2 groups of hiv infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart) and antiretroviral-naive patients....

background: the present work was planned to evaluate the antihyperglycemic, lipid‑lowering, and antioxidant effect of lactobacillus casei and bifidobacterium bifidum in streptozotocin (stz)‑induced diabetic rats. methods: single daily dose of 1 × 107 cfu/ml of l. casei and b. bifidum alone and in combination of both was given to wistar rats orally by gavaging for 28 days. glucose tolerance test...

Recently, the incidence and prevalence of obesity and dyslipidemia are increasing. Dyslipidemia is associated with significant comorbidities and complications, and with cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and smoking). The main objectives of this article are that describe the prevalence of dyslipidemia in Korean children and adolescents and review the diagnosis...

Recent studies using recombinant DNA technology have led to an understanding of the basic molecular pathology of single gene disorders. Furthermore, methods are being developed for finding genes for conditions, whose underlying biochemistry is still not understood, or which may contribute to polygenic systems that underlie common diseases. As well as providing new approaches to carrier detectio...

INTRODUCTION Although coronary heart disease in users of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) is rare, one of the principal risk factors for its occurrence is dyslipidemia. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of dyslipidemia in women wishing to use COCs, and its association with known clinical risk factors in order to evaluate the need to determine the lipid profile in this population. STUD...
