background: apolipoprotein a2 (apoa2) is the second major apolipoprotein of the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c). the study aim was to identify apoa2 gene variation in individuals within two extreme tails of hdl-c levels and its relationship with hdl-c level. methods: this cross-sectional survey was conducted on participants from tehran glucose and lipid study (tlgs) at research ins...

b a ckground:  to compare the oxidative stress (os) factors in obese and non- obese subjects with type 2 diabetes (t2d) and to evaluate the interaction between the apolipoprotein a-ii (apo a-ii) - 265t > c polymorphism and body mass index (bmi) on os factors. m ethods : in this comparative cross-sectional study, 21 diabetes centers in tehran, iran were studied. 180 patients with t2d were divide...

lipoprotein (a) [lp (a) is formed by assembly of ldl-particles and the carbohydrate rich protein, apolipoprotein (a) [apo (a)]. elevated plasma lp (a) levels are an independent predictor of the development of premature coronary artery disease (cad), but is not clear whether the apo (a) isoform plays on additional and independent role or not. to investigate the possible effect of apo (a) isoform...

b a ckground: the objective was to investigate the relationship between serum interleukin-18 (il-18), pentraxin 3 (ptx3), and high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-crp) levels with body mass index (bmi) and abdominal obesity and also the interaction between genetic variants of apolipoprotein a-ii (apo a-ii) and obesity on the levels of these factors in type 2 diabetes patients (t2d). m ethods...
