Background and Aim: Dental caries is the most common infectious, non-communicable, chronic disease worldwide. Obesity and overweight are major public health problems. Both dental caries and obesity have multi-factorial etiology. The aim of the present study was to determine the possible correlation between the body mass index (BMI), lipid profile and dental caries in two groups of high-school s...

variation in growth, feed utilization and survival was assessed in sturgeon fingerlings of beluga fed different dietary lipid levels. all diets were iso-nitrogenous (protein = 45%) comprising 3.4-3.7 kcal digestible energy g-1. triplicate groups of 35 fingerling beluga with a mean initial wet weight of 2.14 ± 0.07 g (± sd) were fed with four experimental diets containing 6.7, 10.5, 14 and 17% c...

abstract background: atherosclerosis and subsequent coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in iranian population. high serum lipid levels, especially the elevated level of low-density lipoprotein (ldl), have been shown to be strongly related to the development of atherosclerosis. the relationship between dietary glycemic index (gi) and lipid profile, particularly in nonwestern po...

The diagnostic properties of a "lipid index" of macrophages in induced sputum as a noninvasive marker of aspiration of acidic gastric contents were evaluated. In a cross-sectional study, 33 subjects (17 with symptoms suggestive of gastrooesophageal reflux) with normal chest radiographs and no symptoms of aspiration or sinus disease, underwent dual-channel 24-h ambulatory oesophageal pH recordin...

BACKGROUND The authors used the lipid index (WL) to monitor lipid changes before and after surgery. The surgical operation performed was the simultaneous enucleation of a cystic tumor of the hilum ovarii in its entirety (with diagnosis of a simple cyst or teratoma adultum) in groups of 20 patients. OBJECTIVES To compare the lipid index WL in the blood serum of patients undergoing surgery trea...

Wang Q., Jin G., Wang N., Guo X., Jin Y., Ma M. (2017): Lipolysis and oxidation of lipids during egg storage at different temperatures. Czech J. Food Sci., 35: 229–235. The aim of this study was to investigate lipolysis and lipid oxidation of stored eggs at different temperatures (4 and 22°C) by evaluating the changes in physicochemical index, lipid profiles, enzymatic activity, and oxidative i...

abstract objective: globally, 3-5.2 percent of people suffer from diabetes which is one of the most serious metabolic disorders resulting in an increase in inflammatory biomarkers e.g. interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and c-reactive protein. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress and fasting blood glucose, lipid profile and an...

the lipid accumulation product is a novel, safe and inexpensive index of central lipid over accumulation based on waist circumference and fasting concentration of circulating triglycerides. this study was designed to investigate the ability of lipid accumulation product to predict cardio-metabolic risk factors in postmenopausal women. in this cross-sectional study, 264 postmenopausal women by u...
