the present study investigated the possibility of replacing salamon with modified shotor diluent (msd) and egg yolk (ey) with low density lipoprotein (ldl) for chilled storage of ram semen. good quality semen (>80% progressive forward motility (pfm) of sperm) from 3 fertile rams was collected using an artificial vagina and pooled for each experiment. low density lipoprotein was extracted from f...

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 pon1, ...

Seven moderately hypercholesterolemic subjects were studied before and after 10 weeks of simvastatin therapy (20 mg/day). Therapy reduced low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by 39% (p < 0.001), whereas high density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol were unchanged. Apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins were divided into VLDL1 (Sf 60-400), VLDL2 (Sf 20...

Objective: To assess the oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to (LDL) ratio as an indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis in haemodialysis patients Methodology: This case control study was carried out at Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center Karachi, from January December 2018. The were selected dialysis center (group B) whereas controls recruited normal healthy population A). access statu...

Tumor gangliosides are biologically active (immunosuppressive and tumor-enhancing) cell surface molecules which are shed into the circulation in vivo. However, the mechanism of transport of these molecules (i.e., in solution or bound to proteins or other lipids) is not known. To resolve this question we traced, by direct chemical detection, the serum localization of a specific human tumor gangl...

Cardiovascular diseases with an incidence of approximately 50% are the main causes of death in most advanced countries and an increasing trend in the developing world as well. The World Health Organization estimates that 12 million people per year worldwide die from cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are becoming an increasing problem worldwide and hypercholesterolemia has been co...

We assessed lipid and lipoprotein levels in 100 women taking low-dose COCs and a control group of 100 non-users attending the family planning centre Basra Maternity and Child Hospital, Iraq. Venous blood was collected after 12-14 hours fasting, and serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and very ...

The relationship between the concentrations of intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) and other lipoproteins and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) was studied in 182 consecutive patients evaluated by selective coronary cineangiography. On univariate analysis, the extent of CAD correlated significantly and positively with very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, IDL cholesterol...
