Background & aim:  This study aimed to determine the relationship between lipid and apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B-100) levels in maternal and umbilical cord sera as well as the effects of these components on anthropometric measurements of newborn infants. Methods:This correlational study was performed on 85 appropriate for gestational age (AGA) newborns and their mothers. For analysis, 5 ml of m...

objective(s) the sst-i polymorphic site on the 3' untranslated region of the apo ciii gene, has been previously reported to be associated with hypertriglyceridemia. the aim of the present study was to explore the association between sst-i polymorphism with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in hyperlipidemic (hlp) patients from semnan province, iran. materials and methods genomic dna was ...

aim and background: major depressive disorder (mdd) is known to play a major role in the onset of coronary artery disease (cad). several studies demonstrated an association between dyslipidemia and mdd. the present study aimed to investigate the mean serum lipoproteins and apolipoprotein level in patients with mdd. method and materials: thirty-two patients, who fully met the fourth diagnostic a...

there are no adequate data that evaluate the safety and effectiveness of lowering triglyceride levels in infants. the authors report a neonate affected by familial hyperchylomicronemia, while being investigated for sepsis the serum sample obtained for blood counts was discovered to be lipaemic and the case was subsequently investigated for dyslipidemia. based on this very abnormal lipid profile...

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...

Results of genome-wide linkage analyses to identify chromosomal regions that influence interindividual variation in plasma lipid and apolipoprotein levels in the Rochester, Minn, population are reported. Analyses were conducted for total cholesterol (total-C), triglycerides (TGs), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein A-II, apolipoprotein B, apolipopro...

  Abstract   Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been   highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense   LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by   arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density   lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...
