Key content Lipid and triglyceride levels increase in pregnancy do not pose problems for most women. However, pregnancy-specific factors genetic aberrations, especially mutations, may result supraphysiological hypercholesterolaemia (HC) severe hypertriglyceridaemia (sHTG). HC sHTG are associated with complications pregnancy, including acute pancreatitis, hyperviscosity syndrome pre-eclampsia. A...

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of hyperlipidaemia or dyslipidaemias is much higher compared to the general population. Total or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is highest in patients with chronic renal impairment. The majority of patients with CKD do not develop renal failure; indeed, mos...

Hyperlipidaemia is a disorder characterised by elevated levels of lipid in blood and frequently regarded as one the main risk factors for atherosclerotic illnesses, including coronary heart disease. The associated include obesity, sedentary lifestyle, fatty food intake, excessive alcoholism smoking. Since hyperlipidaemia has few or no significant clinical signs, panel profile analysis constitut...

Chronic disorders include diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, heart failure, depression, arthritis, and cancer, among others. The most common chronic diseases in adults in the USA are hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, and diabetes. However, long-term conditions are also affecting the country's children; one in three is predicted to develop diabetes, largely owing to obesity. The number of pat...

The present study was aimed to study the effects of hyperlipidaemia on the histology of various reproductive organs. The chronic oral administration of cholesterol diet (400 mg/kg bodyweight/day for 60 day) induced hyperlipidaemia in male rabbits. It showed severe degeneration in germinal epithelium. Few spermatocytes could be seen, but the number was decreased. The seminiferous tubules were wa...

There is a great awareness regarding association between CAD (Coronary Artery Diseases) and mortality, CAD and Obesity, and CAD and Hyperlipidaemia. Thus, there is a need of knowing more about agents working on hyperlipidaemia. Apart from such agents of synthetic origin, there is an increasing search for the lipid lowering agents from natural origin. In this paper an attempt has been made to gi...
