Secondary hyperlipidemia is a major cardiovascular risk factor in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Increased hepatic production of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins contributes to the elevated plasma levels, but the mechanism is poorly understood. Recent results have established that microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is rate limiting for the assembly and secretion of...

Lipoprotein triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations and characteristics are described in normolipidemic and in three categories of hyperlipidemic subjects participating in the Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company Health Survey. For this study, 350 white participants 20 to 59 years of age with cholesterol or triglyceride values exceeding the age, sex, and hormone-use specific, population...

Patients and methods From 2007 to 2013, 30 children with primary hyperlipidemia were recruited and were treated with diet and/or lipid-lowering drug therapy at the National Hospital of Pediatrics, Hanoi, Vietnam. Clinical symptoms and biochemical finding, outcome of treatment were studied. Results: Among 30 cases from 28 families, 8 patients were mixed hyperlipidemia (MHL), 13 patients were hyp...

Introduction: Hyperlipidemia is one of the most important and common risk factors of cardiovascular diseases especially Atherosclerosis and consequently CHD. Unalike age and gender, hyperlipidemia is a factor which can be controlled by altering the life style, nutritional habits and medical-medicinal interventions. Although serum level of cholesterol is always noticed in hyperlipidemia, hypertr...

Hyperlipidemia is a metabolic syndrome characterized by diverse lipid profiles (e.g. hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and familial combined hyperlipidemia) and may have significant adverse effects on health (e.g. atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity). Both genetic and environmental components are associated with hyperlipidemia sub-types. Eff...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal status in subjects with hyperlipidemia and to determine whether there is any association between hyperlipidemia and periodontal disease. METHODS AND MATERIALS Sixty female patients were enrolled in the study; group one is hyperlipidemic patients (30 subjects) and group 2 is systemically fit patients within the same age group (control; ...

Fibrinopeptide A (FPA) levels were measured in a group of 130 controls and patients with various types of primary hyperlipidemia to investigate whether an increased steady state level of thrombin activity is present in hyperlipidemic patients. In a subset of 56 subjects, levels of clotting factors II, VII, and X were measured as well. FPA levels in hyperlipidemic patients were not significantly...
