OBJECTIVE Hypertension and an atherogenic lipid profile are known risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). Hypertensives show greater changes in atherogenic plasma lipids to acute stress than normotensives. In this study, we investigated whether attribution of failure is associated with lipid stress reactivity in hypertensive compared with normotensive men. METHODS 18 normotensive and 1...

TC = 203, TG = 379, HDL-C = 37, LDL-C = 90 and fasting insulin 26. NMR LipoProfile (lipoprotein concentrations) LDL-P = 1820 (desirable < 1300 perfect < 1000) Small LDL-P = 1556 (perfect < 600) However likely not a problem if total LDL-P is OK LDL particle size = 19.5 (quite small) Cutoff between Pattern A (normal) and Pattern B (small is 20.5) Large HDL-P 3.9 Quite low Small HDL-P not provided...

Dyslipidemia is one of the most important factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a new comprehensive lipid index, might be a strong marker for predicting the risk of CAD.A hospital-based case-control study including 2936 CAD patients and 2451 controls was conducted in a Chinese population. Traditional lipid parameters were detected, and nontraditional ...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate association between thyroid dysfunction, and lipid profile and glycated hemoglobin in type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out in type 2 diabetic patients who referred to Yazd Diabetes Research Center. A total of 1200 type 2 diabetic patients who had thyroid dysfunction according to clinical examinations and lab...

Background: Reference measurements are used to screen for abnormal blood lipids. The problem is that these reference values obtained in one population cannot be effective for another population. This study aimed to determine the reference values for blood lipids profiles in the population aged 25-64 years in Yazd. Methods: This descriptive study was based on the data of  Yazd Health Study (YaHS...

conclusions in a current study based on increasing maternal age, the hdl-c level in cord blood was decreased which is an independent risk factor for cvds in adulthood. results a statistically significant negative correlation was observed between cord blood hdl-c and maternal age (r = -0.18, p <0.01). there was no relationship between other lipids and lipoproteins with maternal age. our findings...

Objective(s): This study was to investigate the antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant effect of total flavonoid extract from Actinidia kolomikta (TFAK) in hyperlipidemia induced by a high-fat diet. Materials and Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal group, model (hyperlipidemic diet) group, hyperlipedemic diet supplemented with TFAK (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) and simvastat...

Few studies have examined associations between different subcategories of cholesterol and cognitive function. We examined relationships between total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), triglyceride levels and cognitive performance in the Maine-Syracuse Longitudinal Study, a community-based study of cardiovascular risk factors...

Thyroid function regulates lipid metabolism. Despite the fact that T2DM is more prevalent in the elderly, often associates with thyroid dysfunction and increases cardiovascular risk both per se and via high TC and LDL-C levels, the association of the latter with FT(3) and FT(4) levels has not yet been fully investigated in T2DM. While trying to fill this gap in 296 elderly outpatients with T2DM...
