micro-organisms such as bacteria, yeasts, molds and algae that accumulate lipid more than 20% of their biomass are called oleaginous. microbial lipid has a lot of similarity to the oil obtained from plants and animals. microbial lipids are renewable sources that can use for different purposes such as biodiesel production. production of oil from yeasts has more advantages than plant’s oil. accor...

abstract objective: diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease. one of the most common problems in diabetic patients is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease which is induced by hyperlipidemia. impaired lipid metabolism resulting from uncontrolled hyperglycemia has been implicated in cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients. also, glycated hemoglobin (hba1c) has been regar...

background: stroke is one of the most frequent causes of death and disability worldwide and has significant clinical and socioeconomic impact. hyperlipidemia and inflammation play major roles in atherothrombosis and in stroke. this study is conducted to compare the high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) levels and the lipid profile parameters between stroke patients and control group and de...

conclusions it can be concluded that tempol can improve dyslipidemia and may decrease hyperglycemia in diabetes. it seems that antioxidants such as tempol can improve dyslipidemia and may decrease hyperglycemia in diabetes. results the blood glucose level increased following diabetes induction. the level of blood glucose in the diabetic receiving tempol group decreased compared to the control d...
