Aim: To determine the association between serum and aqueous apolipoprotein (Apo) A1 Apo B levels B/A1 ratio in diabetic retinopathy.
 Material Method: This cross-sectional prospective study included 63 patients with or without retinopathy 38 control subjects who underwent cataract surgery. The groups were as follows; healthy (Group 1), 2), non-proliferative 3), proliferative 4). Serum dete...

OBJECTIVE Genetic variants of ABCA1, an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, have been linked to altered atherosclerosis progression and fasting lipid concentration, mainly high-density lipoproteins and apolipoprotein A1; however, results from different studies have been inconsistent. METHODS AND RESULTS To further characterize the effects of ABCA1 variants in human postprandial lipid meta...

Increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) in plasma is associated with a reduced risk developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In addition to its potential cardioprotective function, HDL ApoA1, the main apolipoprotein, also have antidiabetic properties. The aim study was determine level ApoA1 blood patients (n = 81) type 2 diabetes mellitus ...

BACKGROUND The impact of blood pressure (BP) during adolescence on other cardiovascular risk factors in young adults is important for the primary prevention. OBJECTIVE To evaluate BP, anthropometric indexes, metabolic and inflammatory profiles in young individuals stratified by their BP behavior recorded for 18 years. METHODS A total of 116 individuals, of whom 63 were males, from the Rio d...

OBJECTIVES Aim of this study was to evaluate implication of pregnancy induced hypertension on maternal plasma lipid, lipoprotein, apolipoprotein concentrations and lipid peroxidation products by a comparison of normal pregnancy vs. preeclampsia. DESIGN AND METHODS Thirty-four women with preeclampsia and 32 healthy pregnant women (controls) in the third trimester were recruited for this study....

OBJECTIVE This study was performed to investigate whether a high ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1 (apo B/apo A1 ratio) is significantly associated with the risk of developing non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ON). METHODS Fifty consecutive non-traumatic ON cases were compared with 50 age and sex matched controls, using both univariate and stepwise discriminant ana...

The aim of our work was to study the predictive value of various lipid ratios in patients with Myocardial Infarction (MI). Study group with 60 patients of documented myocardial infarction and 60 healthy controls were enrolled. Extended lipid profile with Serum Apolipoprotein A and Apolipoprotein B was undertaken for each subject. Lipid ratios of LDL/HDL, TC – HDL/HDL, TG/HDL-C and Apo B/Apo A1w...
