background: dyslipidemia is considered an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (chd). in the present study, we examined lipid profiles and paraoxonase 1 (pon1) activity and atherogenic indexes status and the relationship of pon1 activity by high-density lipoprotein (hdl) and atherogenic indexes in chd patients and healthy people. methods: the aim of the study was to compare pon1, ...

background: coronary heart disease is one of the most important problems of public health. one risk factor is dyslipidemia. evidence from molecular and animal research and epidemiologic investigations indicate that calcium intake may influence lipid metabolism.but intervention studies have produced conflicting results.objective of this study was to determine the effects of calcium supplementati...

conclusions expression levels of 1,426 genes were significantly up-regulated in the mutant compared to wt. furthermore, 301 genes were down-regulated with false discovery rates (fdr) of < 0.001 and absolute value of log2 ratio of ≥ 1. results a total of 4,182,944 and 4,182,021 clean tags were obtained from the wt and a nonpathogenic mutant stain (bct89), respectively, and 10,410 differentially ...

conclusions these results demonstrate that the hypolipidemic and antioxidative effects of aqueous extract of e. caryophyllus might be due to its ability to ameliorate lipid profiles, enhance antioxidant activities, and delay the lipid peroxidation process. this confirms the previously identified protective roles of e. caryophyllus in human health. background eugenia caryophyllus (clove) is an i...
