conclusions examination of the fasting lipid profile has clinical importance in predicting the efficacy of peg-ifn-α-2b plus rbv combination therapy for patients with hcv g1b even after the discovery of the il28 genotype as a potent predictive factor. objectives to re-examine the significance of lipoprotein profiles on virological response to peg-ifn plus rbv combination therapy in patients wit...

background: this study was done to test the notion that opium can reduce serum lipids and decrease the risk of ischemic heart disease (ihd) in opium addicts; we made a comparison between the lipid profiles of opium addicts and non-addicts.   methods: in this study, we compared 100 male opium addicts (according to the icd-10 criteria) who had referred to addiction treatment centers with 75 healt...

Background and Aims: Apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing triglyceride-rich lipoproteins low-density (LDL) are each causal for myocardial infarction atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; however, the relative importance is unknown. We tested hypothesis that same number of apoB-containing particles from smaller LDL through to larger lipoproteins, risk similar.

background: the serum concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c) is one of the important heritable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and is a target for therapeutic intervention. in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (lcat) gene polymorphism rs5923 on lcat enzyme activity and serum hdl-c concentration. methods: the study...

The Study involved twenty healthy adult white male rabbits (Lepus arcticus L.). the average weight (1500- 1600) Kg and aged from eight months to one year. ware divided four groups(G) each group contains five rabbits. G1 was treated with normal saline (1.5) ml orally as negative control group, G2 lead acetate (150) mg/kg positive G3 aqueous extract of Panax ginseng (400 ) b.wt G4 ( 400) after 3 ...

1. A simple method for isolation of individual human plasma lipoprotein classes is presented. In this technique, lipoproteins are removed from plasma at d1.225 by ultracentrifugation, after which they are separated and purified by agarose-column chromatography. 2. Three major classes are obtained after agarose-column chromatography. Separation between classes is excellent; more than 95% of the ...

data regarding the effects of dietary protein on modifying serum lipid and lipoprotein levels are controversial. in this study we have investigated the hypothesis whether dietary protein and protein to carbohydrate ratio could be related to subsequent changes in lipid profile in adults.this 3-yaers follow-up_longitudinal study was conducted on a sample of participants (845 men and 1043 women, a...

levamisole is one of the anti-parasitic drugs that widely used in veterinary and aquatic animal medicine. previous investigation showed that levamisole has some stimulatory effect on immunity and liver metabolism. in this investigation effect of levamisole on cholesterol, triglycerol and lipoproteins as metabolic activity indicator has been studied. for this purpose 120 common carp randomly div...
