conclusions the administration of hydro-alcoholic leaf extract of c. colocynthis had a significant anti-hyperglycemic and anti hyperlipidemic effect and improved diabetic complications. in addition, citrullus c. leaf extract may have a protective effect on the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. results the results indicated that fasting blood sugar (fbs), triglycerides (tg), low-density lipoprotein ...

Background: Preeclampsia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. It is the cause of high morbidity and mortality for mothers and fetuses, especially in developing countries. The etiology of preeclampsia is unknown. One of the hypothesis on pathophysiology of preeclampsia is dyslipidemia. The aim of this study was to determine maternal plasma levels of lipoproteins in patients with...

conclusions independent variables such as sex, age, hdl-c, sys-bp, bmi, smoking, cholesterol and hs-crp were considered as influencing variables, and education, marital status, disease history, height, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure and low density lipoprotein were removed from the models. background cardiovascular disease is considered as one of the most common diseases, causing...

background: polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) is a condition associated with chronic anovulation, insulin resistance and androgen excess. women with this syndrome are at increased risk of metabolic syndrome. objective: the aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (mbs) in women with pcos referred to arash hospital in different ages and body mass index (bmi...

there is now clear evidence that the atherosclerotic process begins in childhood. a major and important cause of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (chd) is elevated cholesterol level. in order to clarify the sigificance of elevated total cholesterol (tc) in children who live in tehran, we measured the lipid profiles including tc triglyceride (tg), and high density lipoproteein choleste...

Background Abnormalities in total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) are associated with microvascular dysfunction. Recent studies suggest that lipoprotein sub-fractions better predict atherogenic burden than a routine lipid panel. We sought to determine, whether lipid sub-fractionation is associated with myocardial perfus...

BACKGROUND It has been previously shown that Japanese Americans in Seattle have significantly higher cholesterol levels than native Japanese. The present study examines the association of biological and lifestyle factors with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels among Japanese Americans (JA) and native Japanese (NJ) to determine if these associations are consistent between these high and low cho...

AIM To explore the association of lipid ratios and triglyceride (TG) with insulin resistance (IR) in a Chinese population. We also provide the clinical utility of lipid ratios to identify men and women with IR. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 614 men and 1055 women without diabetes. Insulin resistance was defined by homeostatic model assessment of IR > 2.69. Lipid ratios included ...

BACKGROUND Higher concentrations of the apolipoprotein B (apoB) lipoproteins increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, whether the risk associated with apoB lipoproteins varies with age has not been well examined. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined the associations for total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (no...
