diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder, causes many complications such as micro- and macro-vascular diseases. anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic and anti-oxidative properties of ginger have been noticed in several researches. the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of ginger on fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin a1c, apolipoprotein b, apolipoprotein a-i, and malondial...

High circulating cholesterol and its deregulated homeostasis may facilitate prostate cancer progression. Genetic polymorphism in Apolipoprotein (Apo) E, a key cholesterol regulatory protein may effect changes in systemic cholesterol levels. In this investigation, we determined whether variants of the Apo E gene can trigger defective intracellular cholesterol efflux, which could promote aggressi...

Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder, causes many complications such as micro- and macro-vascular diseases. Anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic and anti-oxidative properties of ginger have been noticed in several researches. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of ginger on fasting blood sugar, Hemoglobin A1c, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A-I, and malondial...

Human apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a product of a polymorphic gene. In the general population, it shows two major mutations, which lead to the appearance of three common alleles encoding for three protein isoforms. This polymorphism is important in the regulation of lipid metabolism. Accurate apoE phenotyping or genotyping has become essential in clinical laboratories, since the epsilon 4 allele ...

BACKGROUND Sequence variations at the apolipoprotein (apo)C-III gene locus have been associated with increased plasma triglycerides. In particular, the S2 allele of an SstI polymorphism in the 3' untranslated region has been associated with hypertriglyceridemia in many populations. The aim of this study was to determine whether the variant S2 allele is related to increased mRNA expression in vi...

background: to evaluate the association of apolipoprotein b (apob), apolipoprotein a (apoa), and apob/apoa ratio with the body fat indicators in patients with stable angina pectoris (sa). materials and methods: one hundred and twenty two participants aged 40-60 years old, with a mean age of 52.1 ± 7.2 years and sa, were recruited for the present study. body weight, height, and waist circumferen...
