Abstract Background Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of and incidence PTC has continued to increase over past decades. Many studies have shown that obesity an independent risk factor for obese patients tend a relative larger tumor size higher grade stage. Obesity associated with disordered lipid metabolism relationship between serum lipids remains unclear. Therefore, this ...

background :some results exist on fetuin-a as marker for vascular disease in type 2diabetes. we examined the relationship between serum fetuin-a with some factors, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm).   methods : from october 2012 to june 2013, a total of 131 t2dm patients were recruited and evaluated for various parameters including homa-ir, apo-a1, apo-b100, body fat percentage a...

Background and Aim of Study: Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, lipid metabolism changes are linked to essential hypertension. The aim the study: investigate significance parameters, apolipoproteins, their ratio in predicting disease among individuals with Material Methods: 250 patients hypertension healthy control subjects were enrolled this case-control study serum lipi...

We have reported previously on two truncations of apolipoprotein B (apo B-40 and apo B-89) in a kindred with hypobetalipoproteinemia. Premature stop codons were found to be responsible for both apo B-40 and apo B-89, but the physiologic mechanisms accounting for the reduced plasma concentrations of these proteins have not been determined in vivo. This study investigates the metabolism of apo B-...

lipoprotein (a) [lp (a) is formed by assembly of ldl-particles and the carbohydrate rich protein, apolipoprotein (a) [apo (a)]. elevated plasma lp (a) levels are an independent predictor of the development of premature coronary artery disease (cad), but is not clear whether the apo (a) isoform plays on additional and independent role or not. to investigate the possible effect of apo (a) isoform...
