INTRODUCTION Intravenous lipid is commonly used as part of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in premature babies. The gold standard of measuring lipid tolerance involves measuring serum triglyceride levels. Many hospitals in Asia do not have this facility and rely on visual turbidity to titrate the rate of lipid infusion. The aim of this study was to determine if visual turbidity correlates with...

background: medicinal plants with biologically active components such as antioxidant and antidiabetic are useful sources of novel therapeutics. in iran, traditionally believed that the aqueous extract of berberry fruit (berberis integerima f.) improved health, especially in people with diabetes. objective: in this study, in vitro phytochemical and antioxidant activities of b. integerrima and b....

THE profound changes in the serum lipids resulting from estrogen administration to men and women with coronary heart disease have been documented in several laboratories.1-6 But these presumably "favorable " alterations have been offset by undesirable estrogenic side-effects, especially in middle-aged men.3'4 Among many measures suggested to avoid the side-effects, including very low estrogen d...

Ninety-six patients were observed at intervals for as long as three and one-half years in some cases. In most instances multiple determinations were made during this time using the electrophoretic pattern of the proteins before and after cold ether extraction (McFarlane method), to measure lipid transport. Hyperlipemia usually produced an increased in beta globulin. A varying decrease in albumi...

Insulin, C-Peptide and HOMA-IR Mean fasting insulin concentrations were significantly higher in offspring of BDP as compared to those of NDP but no statistically significant difference in mean insulin concentration was found between NDP and ODP groups. The insulin resistance as assessed by HOMA-IR was markedly higher in the ODP and BDP group as compared to the control group (Tables 2 and 3). Th...
