Recent evidence indicates that high-density lipoprotein triglyceride (HDL-Tg) may be a predictor of coronary artery disease. We examined three methods for HDL-Tg measurement, comparing results obtained by measurement of Tg in the supernate after heparin-manganese chloride (heparin-Mn) precipitation of EDTA-treated plasma (I) with results obtained after preparative ultracentrifugation (II and II...

BACKGROUND/AIM Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are markedly increased in chronic renal failure (CRF). The aim of this study was to evaluate lipid parameters and bioindices in patients with different stages of CRF. METHODS In 46 hemodialysed (HD), 50 CRF patients with II, III and IV stage of CRF (non-HD) and 48 control subjects triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (C), HDL-C, urea, cre...

Background: The relationship between plasma angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) activity has not been investigated in the metabolism of remnant lipoproteins and HDL. Methods: Angiopoietin-like protein-3 (ANGPTL3), LPL activity, HTGL activity, remnant lipoproteins (RLP-C & RLP-TG), small dense LDL-Cholesterol (sd LDL...

Tomato is a globally famous food and contains several phytonutrients including lycopene, β-carotene, anthocyanin, and flavonoids. The increased temperature used to produce tomato juice, ketchup, tomato paste and canned tomato enhances the bioactive composition. We aimed to verify the beneficial effects of processed tomato juice from Kagome Ltd. (KOT) on hypolipidemic action in hamsters with hyp...

Background: The global prevalence of hypertensive pregnancy disorders (HPDs) is 5.2%-8.2%. Lipid profiles made up triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL), and high-density (HDL) could affect the arterial vessel wall leading to HPDs. Preeclampsia (PE), among most severe maternal-fetal HPDs, has affected 0.2%-9.2% all pregnancies. current study aimed ...

BACKGROUND Since measured low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) has been available in clinical laboratories, there have been concern about the disagreement between measured and calculated LDL-C and the factors causing their disagreement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum lipid concentrations were collected from 1,339 medical records of patients admitted to hospital between 2013 and 2015. They we...

Objective: The objective of this study was to record mean lipid profiles in smokers Methodology: All 200 (Two hundred) were enrolled from Cardiology Department, Punjab Institute cardiology Lahore during 2015 2016, the demographic profile patients’ taken. Their ECG done ensure that they do not have any cardiac disease. After 12 hours over night fasting, blood samples withdrawn a cubital vein int...

OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to estimate the blood glucose and blood lipid profile of students in a university in China. METHODS This descriptive study was based on the health screening data for university students in 2013. The blood glucose (GLU), lipid profiles (total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG, and high density lipoprotein (HDL-C)) was measured by using Hitachi mo...

BACKGROUND The fasting serum lipid profile [triglycerides (TGs), total cholesterol (TC), and LDL- and HDL-cholesterol (LDL-C and HDL-C)] is used to calculate lipid ratios (TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C) that allow identification of individuals at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Because these individuals are also frequently insulin resistant, this study analyzed the relationships be...
