www.aafp.org/afp Volume 88, Number 2 ◆ July 15, 2013 Elevated triglyceride levels typically occur in persons with other metabolic abnormalities. Contributing factors include overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol intake, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and certain genetic disorders (e.g., familial hypertriglyceridemia, familial combined hyperlipidemia, fami...

The present research study was designed to evaluate the effect of zinc supplementation on body weight, serum triglyceride, cholesterol, glucose homeostasis, oxidative stress, and hepatic function in mice. Mice were treated with sulphate at an equivalent weight 6.5 mg/kg-body elemental for four weeks. Bodyweight, glucose, MDA, nitric oxide, vitamin C, enzymes level determined end period. Data fr...

The effect of mangiferin (MF) with exercise on bood lipids was studied in KK-Ay mice, an animal model of type 2 diabetes. MF (30 mg/kg) reduced the blood cholesterol (p<0.05) and triglyceride level (p<0.01) of KK-Ay mice with exercise 2 weeks after oral administration when compared with the control group. Diabetes also often has elevated lipid levels. Therefore, it may be that MF has beneficial...

Acute pancreatitis and eruptive xanthomas are the only recognised direct complications of severe hypertriglyceridaemia. We present the case of a 33-years old male patient in whom the onset of a type 2 diabetes, added to an unknown familial hyperlipidemia, precipitated a dramatic raise of serum triglyceride levels, that cause in turn an acute pancreatitis and the appearance of dermic eruptive xa...

The study’s aim was to examine the antihyperlipidemic effect of apigenin in mice as a model. Healthy adult albino either sex were selected use for this study. Four groups animals formed 5 each. Animals Group 1 served negative control and fed standard diet tap water. Groups 2,3 4 fatty 1% water with H2O2 90 days induce hyperlipidemia. After hyperlipidemic induction, group 2 positive control, whe...

The apolipoprotein AV gene (APOA5) is a key determinant of plasma triglyceride levels, a major risk factor for coronary artery disease and a biomarker for the metabolic syndrome. Since thyroid hormones influence very low density lipoprotein triglyceride metabolism and clinical studies have demonstrated an inverse correlation between thyroid status and plasma triglyceride levels, we examined whe...

conclusions it can be concluded that tempol can improve dyslipidemia and may decrease hyperglycemia in diabetes. it seems that antioxidants such as tempol can improve dyslipidemia and may decrease hyperglycemia in diabetes. results the blood glucose level increased following diabetes induction. the level of blood glucose in the diabetic receiving tempol group decreased compared to the control d...

Cerebral stroke is a leading cause of serious disability and is the third leading cause of death in most countries and its prevention is a key to reduction of morbidity, mortality, and disability. This study investigated the relationship between hyperlipidemia (cholesterol and triglyceride), polycythemia, and incidence of cerebral stroke. Data was obtained from 70 participants that hospitalized...
