objective(s):the aim of this study was to evaluate, for the first time, whether the effects of low-dose adropin administration is effective in rats with hyperlipidemia. materials and methods: twenty one wistar albino female rats were randomly divided into 3 groups and fed with high-fat diet for 4 weeks to establish the hyperlipidemia model. meanwhile, adropin was administrated intraperitonealy ...

We performed the biochemical analysis and studied chemical composition of blood samples in 163 people 45-90 years old with type 2 diabetes mellitus dyslipidemia. examined concentrations following compounds samples: fatty acids, aldehydes, styrenes microbial origin, as well levels glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, lipids low high density. The was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrom...

The long–term effects of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume oil on some physiological parameters were investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic and non-diabetic male Wistar rats. STZ-induced diabetic rats showed significant increases in the levels of blood glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein LDL-cholesterol, urea, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminot...

Objective: Herbal medicine and medical plants such as Ziziphus Jujuba are widely used in the treatment of diseases such as diabetes mellitus. We investigated the effects of ethanol extracts of Ziziphus Jujuba fruit on serum glucose, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, cholesterol and activities of aminotransferase enzymes in streptozocin-induced diabetic adult male rats. Materials...

In the following study, we investigate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) (128 mT, 1 h/day during 5 or 15 consecutive days) on anthropometric parameters, glucose and lipid metabolism in rats. Exposure to SMF during 5 days induced a decrease (-8%, p < 0.05) in relative liver weight and serum insulin concentration (-56%, p < 0.001), while blood glucose level was increased (+10%, p < 0.001...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease among professors of a public university. METHOD This cross-sectional study included 145 professors from the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), MG, Brazil, in 2010. Analyzed variables included age, weight, height, waist, hip and abdominal circumferences, in addition to total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, a...

The Effect of Curcumin on Some of Traditional and Non-Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors: A Pilot Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial Abstract Numerous interventional studies in clinical and preclinical setting stated that intake of curcumin may provide protection against cardiovascular disease. The aim of this trial was investigation of curcumin efficiency on some cardiovas...

The present research study was designed to evaluate the effect of zinc supplementation on body weight, serum triglyceride, cholesterol, glucose homeostasis, oxidative stress, and hepatic function in mice. Mice were treated with sulphate at an equivalent weight 6.5 mg/kg-body elemental for four weeks. Bodyweight, glucose, MDA, nitric oxide, vitamin C, enzymes level determined end period. Data fr...
