objective: dm is a major medical problem in developing countries such as iran. blood sugar and lipids levels increase in diabetics exacerbates the onset of diabetes mellitus (dm) late complications. researchers have focused on herbal medicines improve sugar and lipid levels against side decreasing effects and possible inefficacy of chemical drugs. this study has assessed the effect of curcumin ...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by defect in insulin secretion and action resulting in hyperglycemia. Diabetic patients have deranged body metabolisms particularly for lipids which may result in abnormal levels of serum levels of lipids. Methods: The aim of this study is to find any possible correlation between the the glycosylated hemoglobin and the...

The intestine is a key organ for lipid uptake and distribution, and abnormal intestinal lipid metabolism is associated with obesity and hyperlipidemia. Although multiple regulatory gut hormones secreted from enteroendocrine cells (EEs) regulate systemic lipid homeostasis, such as appetite control and energy balance in adipose tissue, their respective roles regarding lipid metabolism in the inte...

The histochemical effects of the lipid and the biochemical analysis of cholesterol content induced by mancozeb, a widely used fungicide in India and in Madhya Pradesh were observed on Swiss albino mice (Mus musculus albinicus). Three groups were used for the present experiment, where Group I was taken as control and was administered distilled water. Group II and III were the test groups receivi...

A simple and practical method for patterning supported lipid bilayers on poly(dimethylsiloxane) is presented. By using electron microscopy grids to laterally control the extent of plasma oxidation, the substrate is partitioned into regions of different hydrophilicities. Addition of vesicles then results in the spontaneous formation of lipid bilayers and monolayers side-by-side on the surface, s...

background: lipid peroxidation is known to cause various impairments to sperm cells and may play a major role in the etiology of male infertility. asthenospermia is the main factor of male infertility and has significantly higher level of peroxidation than in normozoospermic males. materials and methods: using thiobarbituric acid (tba) assay procedure, we have determined the level of lipid pero...

background: changes in the lipid profile have been suggested as a risk factor for developing ischemic stroke. their role in intra-cerebral hemorrhage, however, is not clear. the present study was designed to evaluate the lipid profile levels of patients who had experienced an acute stroke during the first 24-hour and to compare these levels in different patients suffering from the stroke, eithe...
