BACKGROUND Present study describe the in vitro model of plasma oxidation of patients with different lipid profile, that can be correlated to their invivo plasma oxidizability in order to find the arterial diseases prone patient groups. METHOD The method applied here to measure the invitro plasma oxidizability, accounts a convenient way that can be well suited in any clinical laboratory settin...

The intake of antioxidants intake has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. To clarify the possible role of lipophilic antioxidants in prevention of atherosclerosis, we investigated the effects of lycopene on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidative modification. In this study, “lycopene” was added to plasma and incubated...

background: infants of diabetic mothers (idm) is a critical issue in pediatrics, which is regarded as a major risk factor for birth trauma, respiratory distress syndrome (rds), birth asphyxia, transient tachypnea of the newborn (ttn) and jaundice. idm is also a risk factor for microvascular (e.g., ocular and renal complications) and macrovascular complications (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, a...

introduction: serum lipid disorders are one of the important risk factors for development of coronary arterial atherosclerosis. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of the drug lovastatin and a liquid vegetable extract (dill) on blood plasma lipid levels of rats. methods: in this experimental study, 32 mouse vistar rats weighing 250±30 grams were included and maintained at 23±1 degr...

Introduction Oestrogens protect against coronary artery disease (CAD) [l-31. An estimated 2540% of this protective effect can be attributed to changes in fasting plasma lipids [4]. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations are reduced [5,6] as the result of enhanced clearance of atherogenic LDL particles by upregulated LDL receptors [7,8]. The production of highdensity lipoprotei...

strychnos henningsii gilg is recommended among other remedies for the treatment of diabetes in traditional medicine of southern africa. the antidiabetic effect of oral administration of aqueous bark extract of the plant at 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight was investigated in diabetic rats induced with streptozotocin-nicotinamide for 15 days. the extract decreased the blood glucose level, feed...

The membrane of vesicular stomatitis virus could be readily enriched with exogenous cholesterol by exposing virion suspensions to serum lipoproteins forming complexes with cholesterol or to a carrier of polyvinylpyrrolidone/bovine serum albumin mixed with cholesterol. These procedures increased the cholesterol content of the virion membrane f rom -35 to -60% of the total lipid. Endogenous chole...

Antioxidant consumption has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. To clarify the possible role of vitamin E and volatile oils in the prevention of atherosclerosis, the effects of these compounds on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidative modification were investigated. In this study, vitamin E and seven volatile oils “an...
