background and objective: lowering serum glucose and lipid levels in diabetic patients by using natural materials is of great importance. in this study, the effect of oral consumption of fumaria parviflora lamwas was assessed on serum glucose and lipid levels in streptozocin diabetic rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 32 male wistar rats were divided into four groups of co...

Objective Objectives: The present study was designed to evaluate the serum lipid profile and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-ɑ) level in diabetic rats at the time of implantation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) could affect various systems, including innate immune system and causes chronic low-grade inflammation which increases the level of TNF-ɑ. Furthermore, T2DM is often accompanied by imp...

We have studied the effect of simultaneous oral treatment of aqueous garlic extract (Allium sativum) on heavy metal (nickel II and chromium VI) induced changes in serum lipid profile. Nickel sulfate and potassium dichromate treated rats showed a significant increase in serum low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) leve...

The concentration of adiponectin, a hormone which is secreted from adipose tissue, is inversely correlated with body fat mass. This hormone has anti inflammatory and anti atherogenic properties. Its concentration reduces in metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. This study reviews the evidence on the relationship between serum adiponectin concentration and lipid profile. In this study ...

BACKGROUND Irbesartan has been reported to have beneficial effects on glucose/lipid metabolism in addition to an antihypertensive effect; however, such effects have not been clarified in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We investigated the effects of irbesartan on blood pressure (BP) as well as glucose/lipid metabolism, in HD patients with hypertension. METHODS Seventeen HD patients with hypertens...

conclusions the results of this study showed that arbutin may protect the liver against ccl4-induced oxidative damage in rats. this hepatoprotective effect might be correlated with the antioxidant and free radical scavenger effects of arbutin. results treatment with ccl4 for 28 d decreased the levels of total protein and albumin and increased the level of bilirubin and lipid peroxidation. arbut...

background: low bone mass is a major health problem in postmenopausal women.there is no general agreement regarding relationship between serum level of lipidsand bone mineral density.objective: this study was carried out to investigate the association between lipidprofile and bone mineral density (bmd) in postmenopausal women in yazd, iran.materials and methods: this cross-sectional study was p...
