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, ...

objective: this study was done to explore the relationship between components of metabolic syndrome and smoking. materials and methods: in this analytical cross-sectional study in ahvaz, south west of iran, the gathering data sheet was completed. body mass index, abdominal and waist circumference, fasting blood sugar, triglyceride, total cholesterol, ldl and hdl levels, systolic and diastolic b...

abstractantioxidants are effective in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. lavandula officinalis possesses antioxidant activity, therefore, in this study, the effects of lavandula officinalis extract were investigated on serum lipids levels of rats. experimental mature male wistar rats were treated with 100, 200 or 400 mg/kg/day of lavender ethanolic extract or distilled water f...

Background The paucity of data regarding the association between atherogenic index of plasma and risk of cardiovascular disease in HIV-infected populations living in sub-Saharan Africa prompted us to conduct this study which aimed to assess the relationship between atherogenic index of plasma and risk of cardiovascular disease among a Cameroonian HIV-infected population. Methods This was a cr...

in the present study, we examined the antioxidative activities of satureja khuzestanica essential oil (ske) and possible protective effect of ske on lipid profile, atherogenic index and liver enzyme markers in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic rats. thirty male rats were randomly divided into three groups; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment, and group three treatments with ske b...

Coronary artery disease is the epidemic of modern civilization in which dyslipidemia contributes significantly to its pathogenesis. We studied the significance of three important lipid ratios i.e. Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) {(logTG)/HDLc}, Castelli’s Risk Index I & II (TC/HDLc and LDLc/HDLc respectively) and Atherogenic coefficient (AC) {(Non-HDLc)/HDLc} in predicting the risk of CAD.
