OBJECTIVE In patients with type 2 diabetes, a normal HDL cholesterol level does not rule out that LDL particles may be small. Although techniques for analyzing LDL subfractions are not likely to be used in clinical practice, a prediction of LDL size based on a regular lipid profile may be useful for assessment of cardiovascular risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Sixty patients with type 2 diab...

Studies were performed to determine if serum bilirubin, when combined with various lipid and lipoprotein risk factors, enhances our ability to predict coronary artery disease (CAD). This hypothesis was tested in a retrospective study of 644 middle-aged males who had undergone coronary angiography. The traditional risk factors of cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), cholest...

Background: The effect of cannabis on cholesterol and lipid balance has been reported for decades. However, there are conflicting reports the reduction low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) total cholesterol. purpose this study was to determine immediate changes Cannabis spp. consumption by pyrolytic route in heavy users. Methods: A cross-sectional 20 Peruvian users (mean age: 31 ± 9.5 years). inclus...

Abstract Introduction Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) is a multi-system disorder that may be associated with endocrine changes, oxidative stress in addition to inflammation. Studies suggest selenium trace element related protection against damage caused by stress. Objective To describe the plasma levels of and erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity A-T patients relate them lipid status biomark...

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian Tapak Liman (Elephantopus scaber L.) terhadap High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) dan Low (LDL) serum darah broiler. dilaksanakan pada Februari—Maret 2022 di kandang ayam Jurusan Peternakan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Lampung Laboratorium Pramita Biolab Indonesia. menggunakan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). 4 perlakuan 3 ulangan de...

We seek to establish whether high-density lipoprotein HDL metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) impairment is an intrinsic feature of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). RCT from macrophages (m-RCT), a vascular cell type major influence on atherosclerosis, impaired in FH due defective low-density receptor (LDLR) function via both the HDL- LDL-mediated pathways. Potential mechanisms...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to investigate the value of ox-LDL and oxidation ratio of LDL (ox-LDL/TC, ox-LDL/HDL-C and ox-LDL/LDL-C) in diagnosis and prognosis evaluation in CAD patients. Also, we aimed to observe the effect of statins on reducing level of ox-LDL and oxidation ratio of LDL, and explore whether statins still have similar effect on ox-LDL in a short period of t...

BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) reduces reactivity of the target organ to blood insulin. Researchers have attempted to evaluate IR using various serum lipid concentration ratios. We aimed to determine the most strongly IR-predictive lipid profile ratios for each sex by studying associations between lipid concentration ratios and IR using data from the fifth Korea National Health and Nutritio...

Background. Malondialdehyde (MDA) has been implicated in the development of many acute inflammatory, autoimmune diseases as well as chronic inflammatory metabolic disorders. Involvement of inflammatory response and oxidative stress is currently suggested as a mechanism underlying development of diabetes and its complications. Objective. To evaluate the clinical utility of MDA, macrophage migrat...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of non-HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo)B, markers of all potentially atherogenic lipoproteins, as predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in comparison with LDL cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We prospectively followed 746 diabetic men in the Health Professionals' Follow-up Study who were aged 46-81 years and ...
