SEE PAGE 1250 S creening for lipid disorders in childhood and adolescence has been controversial. Although it is well documented that atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the number 1 cause of death in the United States and that elevated cholesterol, particularly low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), is a major risk factor for the development of disease (1), many issues regarding sc...

conclusions cornus mas fruit extract effect may be due to including some antioxidant components, which caused membrane stabilizing and normalization of fluctuated biochemical profiles induced by ccl4 exposure. our results validated the traditional use of cornus mas in the treatment of liver disorders. results oral administration of cornus mas fruits extract to rats for 14 days provided a signif...

The brain is known to be sensitive to oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. While lipid peroxidation has been shown to contribute to many disease processes, its role in psychiatric illness has not been investigated until recently. In this paper, we provide an overview of lipid peroxidation in the central nervous system as well as clinical data supporting a link between lipid peroxidation and...

AIM The present study aimed to assess the incidence and type of lipid disorders in the offspring of young Greek coronary patients. METHODS One hundred and ninety-three children and youngsters were divided into two groups. Group A consisted of 104 children whose fathers had sustained a myocardial infarction before the age of 55 years. Eighty-nine young subjects matched for age, gender, dietary...

During the screening of apolipoprotein (apo) E gene polymorphism with PCR and subsequent restriction analysis, we have identified a female carrier with a mutant allele Arg136-->Cys. This proband had normal lipid parameters and no history of coronary artery disease (CAD). We did not confirm the previously described connection between apo E Arg136-->Cys mutation and elevated lipid levels. In the ...

Numerous studies on complications associated with eating disorders have been conducted worldwide. However such studies are limited in the Indian scenario. Hence, we attempted to analyse the presence of oxidative stress along with total lipid profiling of students with eating distress in Mysore, South India. A biochemical test panel was conducted using serum samples of controls and subjects. Res...

Oxidative stress and excess hepatic lipid accumulation contribute to non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease. Radix Hedysari polysaccharides (RHP) have attracted interest due to their antioxidant properties and immunomodulatory effects. However, the effect of RHP on hepatic lipid metabolism remains to be elucidated. In the present study, the response of Sprague‑Dawley rat livers to a high‑fat diet an...
