BACKGROUND Animal studies have demonstrated that an inhibition of DPP-4 has an impact on the secretion of cholesterol and apoB by the small intestine. However, there is no consensus about the changes of the lipid profile following administration of sitagliptin. METHODS Accordingly, we treated patients who had type 2 diabetes complicated by dyslipidemia with sitagliptin and evaluated its effec...

UNLABELLED Physical exercise protects against the development of cardiovascular disease, partly by lowering plasmatic total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol levels. In addition, it is now established that reduction plasmatic adiponectin and increased C-reactive protein (CRP) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels play a role in the maintenance of an infla...

BACKGROUND The inverse relation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and cardiovascular (CV) disease underscores the need for clinical evaluation of the effect of HDL-C increasing drugs on the prevalence of CV disease. METHODS We review the efficacy of Niaspan on serum lipids and the occurrence of side effects either alone or in combination with statins, in randomised controll...

The term plasma lipid profile considers measurement of certain components of plasma including total cholesterol (TCh), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-Ch), triglycerides (Tg), low density blipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-Ch) and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-Ch). TCh consists of all the cholesterol present in different lipoproteins like high density lipoprotein (HDL), lo...

BACKGROUND Fish oils have been widely reported as a useful supplement to reduce fasting blood triglyceride levels in individuals with hyperlipidemia. We performed an updated meta-analysis to quantitatively evaluate all the randomized trials of fish oils in hyperlipidemic subjects. METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search using several electronic databases supplemented by manual sea...

Lipid profile including cholesterol, triglycerides, High Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and Low Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) level was determined in patients with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and compared to Healthy Pregnant Women (HPW). 103 GDM women and 97 HPW were registered in the Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar in the time period of May to December 2012. Total...

Introduction: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in serum is the basis of diagnosis, classification and management hypercholesterolemia as per current recommendations Adult Treatment Panel III National Cholesterol Education Program. Friedewalds formula used most laboratories to measure LDL-C indirectly. But, not reliable always. Now-a-days, various homogenous assay kits for dire...

Tujuan penelitian ini yakni untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh pemanfaatan tepung daun apu-apu (TDA) dalam ransum basal terhadap kadar total kolesterol (TCHO), HDL (High Density Lipoprotein), LDL (Low Lipoprotein) dan trigliserida (TG) pada darah ayam broiler. Hewan yang digunakan adalah broiler dipelihara mulai DOC sampai umur 35 hari dengan menggunakan 20 petak kandang tiap unit terdiri dari 3 ekor....

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There are conflicting data on the effects of fasting in Ramadan in Muslim countries on Lipid profile. We aimed to evaluate the effect of fasting on lipid profiles and some ratios which are strong for predicting cardiovascular disease. METHODS This prospective observational study was done in Iran in 2012. Forty three persons were enrolled into the study. Their anthrop...

BACKGROUND Few large-scale, real-world studies have assessed the relative associations of lipid fractions with diabetic microvascular events. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the association of the lipid profile components, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (...
