Limited data are available about mitotane-nduced hyperlipidemia. We retrospectively analyzed lipid data in 38 patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) who received mitotane therapy with emphasis on HDL cholesterol (HDL-c) and clinical predictors of lipid changes. At baseline, the mean levels of HDL-c, LDL-c, and triglycerides were 53.3 mg/dL, 114.4 mg/dL, and 149 mg/dL, respectively. HDL-c,...

OBJECTIVE In patients with type 2 diabetes, a normal HDL cholesterol level does not rule out that LDL particles may be small. Although techniques for analyzing LDL subfractions are not likely to be used in clinical practice, a prediction of LDL size based on a regular lipid profile may be useful for assessment of cardiovascular risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Sixty patients with type 2 diab...

To determine the relative contributions of triglycerides (TGs) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the residual risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) after the reduction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol to guideline-recommended levels, we conducted a hospital-based, case-control study with optimal matching in the strata of LDL cholesterol, gender, ethnicity, and age. Th...

This study aimed to estimate the relationship between various lipid abnormalities and albuminuria in hypertensive Korean adults. Data obtained from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2011 to 2012 were analyzed. The study included 2330 hypertensive participants. Total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lip...

ABSTRACT Background Dyslipidemia is associated with kidney function decline (KFD), although the non-linear relationship of lipid parameters to KFD has not been fully elucidated. We aimed determine detailed baseline KFD, considering mediation arterial stiffness. Methods A total 27 864 urban residents estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at baseline, who participated in ...

Abstract To analyze the relationship between systemic lipid profile levels and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) subtype in Korea. The ophthalmic data of 95 eyes serum profiles patients were reviewed. These factors compared with those general population using from Korean National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), which evaluated 2,917 subjects. Of these, comparison group (1:5 ratio...

The influence of type fish consumption on cardiovascular risk profiles was studied in Sri Lankan community. Achallenge experiment set up to do a research the omega-3 fatty acid content cardiovascularrisk healthy people. Hundred undergraduates (subjects) who were between ages 23 30 yearsand full time resident hostels Lanka, randomly selected for this study. students fed with fishcurry and fried ...

BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) reduces reactivity of the target organ to blood insulin. Researchers have attempted to evaluate IR using various serum lipid concentration ratios. We aimed to determine the most strongly IR-predictive lipid profile ratios for each sex by studying associations between lipid concentration ratios and IR using data from the fifth Korea National Health and Nutritio...

BACKGROUND Controlling risk factors such as dyslipidemia in patients with coronary artery disease, including candidates for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is of great importance and has serious effects on CABG morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate lipid serum levels, comprising TG, LDL, and HDL, before CABG and their relation with in-hospital outcome. METHODS...

Cardiovascular diseases is one of the most important causes of mortality in the world obesity is one of the causes. Increase in blood lipid and triglyceride cholestrole is significant in over weights. The aim of this study was assessing the effect of periodic aerobic exercises on lipid profile of obese woman. This study which was a semi – experimental research, 30 volunter obese woman (age 35-4...
