Fibrates lower triglycerides and raise HDL cholesterol in dyslipidemic patients, but show heterogeneous treatment response. We used k-means clustering to identify three representative NMR lipoprotein profiles for 775 subjects from the GOLDN population, and study the response to fenofibrate in corresponding subgroups. The subjects in each subgroup showed differences in conventional lipid charact...

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is adisorder of hyperandrogenemia and chronic anovulation which affects 5-10% of all women. It has been reported that women with PCOS often have serum lipid level elevation. This study compares serum lipid levels in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome. Materials and Methods: In this comparative-cross sectional study, lipid profiles (Tota...

BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a systemic, lipid-driven immune-inflammatory disease. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed institutional electronic medical records to seek chest pain patients who were suspicious of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) between January 2011 and December 2013. All the patients were identified by undergoing coronary angiography. On admission white blood cell and its subtyp...

objective(s) we determined the effect of a high fructose diet either alone or in combination with iranian shallot or garlic extract on cognitive functions, plasma lipid profile, and the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (ipgtt). materials and methods following induction of insulin resistance in fructose-fed rats (fru-fed), they were randomly assigned to three subgroups. the first subgroup ...

in this paper a first step in classifying the fuzzy normalsubgroups of a finite group is made. explicit formulas for thenumber of distinct fuzzy normal subgroups are obtained in theparticular cases of symmetric groups and dihedral groups.

a subgroup x of a group g is said to be an h -subgroup if n_g(x) ∩ x^g ≤ x for each element g belonging to g. in [m. bianchi e. a., on finite soluble groups in which normality is a transitive relation, j. group theory, 3 (2000), 147–156] the authors showed that finite groups in which every subgroup has the h -property are exactly soluble groups in which normality is a transitive relation. here ...

Cross-sectional ageand sex-specific plasma lipid distributions (means, medians and selected percentiles) are given for 48,431 white participants in visit 1 of the Lipid Research Clinics (LRC) Prevalence Study. This study consisted of two visits in which 10 LRCs screened participants selected from well-defined North American target populations that included a broad range of sociodemographic subg...
