Background: Dyslipidemia is considered an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). In the present study, we examined lipid profiles and paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity and atherogenic indexes status and the relationship of PON1 activity by high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and atherogenic indexes in CHD patients and healthy people. Methods: The aim of the study was to compare PON...

OBJECTIVE Hepatic ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) expression is critical for maintaining plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations, but its role in macrophage reverse cholesterol transport and atherosclerosis is not fully understood. We investigated atherosclerosis development and reverse cholesterol transport in hepatocyte-specific ABCA1 knockout (HSKO) mice in the low-d...

Background: Hypertension is one of the most common diseases with increasing morbidity and mortality. HTN associated cardiovascular risk factors such as insulin resistance (IR) hyperlipidemia. Recently, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been proposed a marker for resistance. Aims Objectives: This study aimed to assess TyG index, triglyceride high-density lipoprotein ratio, other lipid ratios ...

Background: Dyslipidemia is a lipid metabolism disorder that causes changes in plasma lipoprotein function and/or levels of Triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and High-Density (HDL). Administration Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) non-pharmacological therapy effectively improves profiles reduces the risk dyslipidemia. Objectives: This study aimed to conduc...

We studied the precipitation of isolated lipoproteins with heparin and MnCl2. Lipoproteins were isolated from human plasma by preparative ultracentrifugation and their free cholesterol was labeled. Each lipoprotein fraction was then precipitated at various pHs, with or without bovine serum albumin (60 g/L) present. Under no set of conditions was one class of lipoproteins completely separated fr...

BACKGROUND Lipid profiles are usually measured after fasting. We tested the hypotheses that these levels change only minimally in response to normal food intake and that nonfasting levels predict cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS We cross-sectionally studied 33 391 individuals 20 to 95 years of age from the Copenhagen General Population Study. We also studied 9319 individuals 20 to 9...

Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder, an expression of defect in the gene that responsible for production LDL-C receptor. The current study was designed to determine FH patients city Sulaymaniyah both sexes. included 213 samples, number males 99 and females 114, sexes ranged from (30-79) years.The results cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low-densi...

Background: Serum lipids abnormalities have been observed in various forms of cancers including acute leukemia. Investigators report decreased total cholesterol and HDL, and elevated triglyceride in leukemic patients. Limited studies had been performed to discover the correlation between abnormal lipids profile and disease activity in leukemic patients in Iran. This study was done to evaluate t...
