Docosahexaenoic acid (22 : 6) decreases blood platelet function and is highly concentrated in the brain where its depletion leads to functional impairments. Because the platelets and blood brain barrier capillary endothelium cannot hydrolyze the complex lipids for fatty acid (FA) u p take, nonesterified FA (NEFA) bound to albumin are assumed to be the delivery route of FA to these cells. The su...

Cell suspensions enriched in human blood monocytes, obtained from normal peripheral blood by sedimentation on sodium diatrizoate-Ficoll gradients or from the blood of patients with neutropenia and monocytosis, accumulated malonyldialdehyde, a labile catabolite of lipid peroxidation, during incubations with polystyrene beads or heat-killed Staphylococcus epidermidis. Mixed blood leukocytes princ...

Previous clinical studies have reported mixed results regarding the effect of probiotics on lipid metabolism. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to quantify the direction and magnitude of the potential effect of probiotics on blood lipid concentrations.Eligible studies were randomized, placebo-controlled trials whose interventions were probiotic products con...

The finding of lipid substances in all electrophoretically separable serum proteins, in the case of w and ,&globulins in remarkably large proportions (Blix, Tiselius, and Svensson, 1941), raised the question of the possible r&e of the lipids in the electrophoretic behavior of these proteins. Experiments with sera from which the lipids had been largely removed, according to the mild extraction p...

INTRODUCTION A few reports have linked regular blood donation to the lowering of parameters of lipid profile. Estimating the lipid profile is an accepted method of assessing an individual's risk for coronary heart disease, particularly if there is evidence of lipid peroxidation. Regular blood donation may lower iron stores, and this in turn lowers lipid peroxidation. This study was carried out ...

The American Diabetes Association has recommended glycemic goals for nonpregnant diabetic individuals (1). These goals are aimed at controlling blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and lipid profiles. In addition, seasonal variation of blood pressure has been recognized and found to exist in both normotensive subjects and hypertensive patients (2). However, the relation between blood pressure ...

conclusions ehp was able to both reduce ldl-ch and to significantly decrease markers of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation induced by hyperlipidemia. therefore, this herb, as a new pharmacological component, could be used to reduce certain blood lipids, lipid peroxidation, and aminotransferase markers. materials and methods thirty-two male rats weighting 200 ± 10 g were randomly divided in...

Background: Epidemiological studies have consistently associated nut consumption with reduced risk for coronary heart disease. Subsequently, many dietary intervention trials investigated the effects of nut consumption on blood lipid levels. The objectives of this study were to estimate the effects of nut consumption on blood lipid levels and to examine whether different factors modify the effects.

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) causes an increased risk of metabolic cardiovascular syndrome. also, cystatin c serum levels are associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in metabolic syndrome patients. objective: to investigate the relationship between cystatin c in pcos patients. materials and methods: 35 women with pcos were compared to 35 women with healthy matched age ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: diabetes mellitus (dm) is a common metabolic disorder that can cause various complications including, peripheral neuropathy (pnp). some possible risk-factors such as blood glucose level, hyperglycemia, duration of diabetes, and lipid profiles are assumed to be important in diabetic pnp incidence. the aim of this study is to evaluate the ...
