The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype and its associated factors among subjects that have been followed up from birth. In 1982, all maternity hospitals in the city of Pelotas, in the Southern Region of Brazil, were visited and all births were recorded. Babies whose parents lived in the urban area of Pelotas were subsequently followed up on ...

For many years, 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA), a primary metabolite of nicotinamide, has been considered inactive. Recently however, it has been discovered that MNA possesses anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory activity. In the present study we investigated whether chronic administration of MNA to hypertriglyceridemic or diabetic rats would reverse endothelial dysfunction characterized by the im...

background: there is conflicting evidence on the influence of carbohydrate intake and risk of hypertriglyceridemic waist (hw) phenotype. the aim of the present study was to determine the association between dietary carbohydrate intake and the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on 442 iranian female teachers in the age range of 2...

The influence of different plasma triglyceride concentrations on the heterogeneity of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and on the susceptibility of LDL to copper oxidation was investigated. By density gradient ultracentrifugation, LDL subfractions were isolated from the plasma of 10 normolipidemic control subjects and 12 hypertriglyceridemic patients both before and after clofibrate treatment. In ...

Lipoprotein compositional studies were carried out in 20 patients with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease. Twelve of these patients were normolipidemic, the other eight, hypertriglyceridemic. Ten normolipidemic and 10 hypertriglyceridemic age-matched subjects were used as controls. High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were markedly reduced in the hypertriglyceridemic subjects, b...

In hypertriglyceridemic subjects, bile acid synthesis measured by isotope dilution is consistently higher than synthesis measured by fecal acidic sterol output. To see which of these two measurements was the more accurate, we compared them to synthesis measured by release of 14CO2 from [26-14C]cholesterol. In 14 hypertriglyceridemic subjects, mean +/- SEM synthesis by the CO2 method was 1540 +/...

OBJECTIVES The optimal therapy for hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis, especially the role of plasma exchange (PE), is not entirely clear. The aim of our large, single-center, observational, cohort study was to analyze the factors affecting outcome in hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis treated with PE. METHODS We included 111 episodes of hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis treated with PE, ...

South Asians have a higher incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) than individuals of European descent1 and present with first acute myocardial infarction at younger ages.2 In the study by Joshi et al,2 among the several CHD risk factors that differentiated native South Asians from those living in other countries was an increase in abdominal obesity. Of interest in this context is the sugges...
