BACKGROUND This study was designed to assess the effect of sesame seed on lipid profile and oxidative stress biomarkers in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients. METHODS Fifty patients with knee OA were allocated into two groups receiving 40 g of sesame seed daily along with standard medical therapy (n=25) or stan-dard treatment (n=25) for two months. Serum total antioxidant capacity, ma-londiald...

CONTEXT Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent worldwide, and observational studies have associated it with an atherogenic lipid profile. AIM To determine the interrelationship between Vitamin D and lipid profile in apparently healthy premenopausal Indian women, considering confounding factors such as lifestyle that independently influence lipids. SETTING AND DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJ...

Background: Lipid profile changes are a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease with increasing prevalence in our society due to poor nutritional habits, sedentary, and smoking. Owing to lack of epidemiological data in this area, this study was designed to investigate lipid profile and morbidity risk in smokers and non- smokers in Babol, North of Iran. Methods: In this study, 204 young men...

background: regular moderate intensity physical activity and lipid lowering effects of nigella sativa(n. sativa) supplementation may be appropriate management for sedentary overweight females. therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of long-term n. sativasupplementation and aerobic training on lipid profile and maximal oxygen consumption (vo2max) in sedentary overweig...

the association between overt hypothyroidism and altered lipid profile is well known, whereas the significance of dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) is still a matter of debate. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the lipid profile in patients with sch in comparison to controls. serum lipid parameters of 34 patients with sch and 34 age- and sex-matched healthy controls we...

noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is the most common complication of long-term noise exposure, though there  are  some  other  complications  due  to  exposure  to  noise.  metabolic  complications  of  the  noise exposure are being evaluated in recent studies. we aimed to assess the relationship between nihl and lipid profile, and fasting blood sugar (fbs). in this cross-sectional  study, 462 ...

background: diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders and is related to oxidative-stress-induced diseases. given the role of dietary antioxidants in the control and prevention of diabetes, this study aimed to examine the effects of sesame butter versus sesame oil on the serum levels of glucose, lipid profile, and oxidative stress biomarkers in diabetic rats. methods: forty male alb...

Dietary supplementation with magnesium (Mg) in addition to classical therapies for diabetes may help in prevention or delaying of diabetic complications.We aimed to evaluate the status of serum Mg in children with type 1 diabetes and assessing its relationship to glycemic control and lipid profile. Then evaluating the effect of oral Mg supplementation on glycemic control and lipid parameters.We...

objective: oxidative stress is the result of an imbalance between free radical production and antioxidant defenses of the body. the use of antioxidants can have preventive effects in diabetes. the present study aims to show the effects of biarum bovei extracts on lipid profile, lipid peroxidation in streptozocin induced diabetic male rats. materials and methods: animals were randomly assigned t...
