INTRODUCTION Professional stress can damage all organs and systems of exposed workers. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of occupational stress on lipid state of exposed professional drivers in road traffic. MATERIAL AND METHODS The atherogenic risk in vehicle drivers professionally exposed to stress was assessed by measuring total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol a...

Over the centuries plants have been effectively used as a potent source of traditional medicine. Present experiment was aimed to evaluate the hypocholesterolemic and anti-atherogenic effect of feeding Terminalia chebula powder (TCP) in rabbits. A total of (n=20) rabbits were assigned to four treatment groups with n=5 animals in each group. Experimental treatments received Normal Saline (NS); T....

Comparison of Concurrent Aerobic, Resistance and Combination (Aerobic + Resistance) Training on Serum Levels Leptin, Atherogenic Index Plasma Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Obese Inactive Student Girls

Introduction: Xanthelasma is a common form of skin xanthoma. It due to abnormal lipid deposition in the eyelid skin. thought be sign dyslipidemia, one important risk factors atherosclerosis. The atherosclerotic disease can determined using atherogenic index plasma (AIP) parameters. AIP mathematical relationship between TG and HDL logs (TG/HDL). Thus, this study aimed determine xanthelasma palpe...

In the present study, we examined the antioxidative activities of Satureja khuzestanica essential oil (SKE) and possible protective effect of SKE on lipid profile, atherogenic index and liver enzyme markers in Alloxan-induced Type 1 diabetic rats. Thirty male rats were randomly divided into three groups; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, and group three treatments with SKE b...

mimosa pudica lin., known as chue mue, is a stout straggling prostrate shrubby plant, with spinous stipules and globose pinkish flower heads, and grows as weed in almost all parts of the country. it is traditionally used for its various properties and hence in the present study, chloroform extract of mimosa pudica leaves has been screened for its hypolipidemic activity. hypolipidemic activity i...

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in India. The important factor associated is dyslipidemia. A strong relationship has been seen in epidemiological studies between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. The present study was planned to analyse cord blood lipid profile, apolipoproteins and atherogenic index and to see their relationship with birth weight. ...
