OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between the lipid profile, plasma atherogenic index (PAI), and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. METHODS The data of age, duration of menopause, height, weight, lipid profile, bone mineral density (BMD) value, and history of oral contraceptive use of 407 postmenopausal women who had not been menstruating for at least 12 ...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the cause of one third of deaths worldwide and this will progress because of increasing CVD's risk factors. The most basic task of dealing with the epidemic of CVD is primary prevention of risk factors. As Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) is a strong marker to predict the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, we assessed the correlation ...

objectives the aim of this study was to examine the effect of flaxseed on gene expression of intestinal transporters: niemann-pick c1 like 1 (npc1l1), atp-cassette binding proteins g5 (abcg5) and g8 (abcg8). methods animals were randomly divided into 3 groups 8 rats in each group: group1; normal diet, group2; diabetic rats, and group3; diabetic rats + 4% (w/w) flaxseed. after one-month rats wer...

Setting: Department Biochemistry, Liaquat University Jamshoro. Period: January 2018 to December 2019. Material & Methods: 216 cases GDM were selected by inclusion criteria. Venous blood sampling colle...

Background and aim: Insulin resistance has been linked to both triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) hypertension, it is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The present study aimed determine the TyG atherogenic indices in essential hypertensive subjects find out association between them.
 Materials Methods: In this case-control study, 250 patients with hypertension healthy controls ...

The aim of the study was to assess the lipid atherogenic risk in women with metabolic syndrome (MS) based on calculating the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) {(logTriglycerides)/HDL-cholesterol}, Castelli's I and II risk indexes (the ratios total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol, respectively) and the leptin/adiponectin ratio (L/A ratio). Materials and methods: T...
