liver secretes a large range of very low density lipoprotein (vldl) particles of different sizes and svedberg flotation rates (sf). in plasma vldl is converted to low density lipoprotein (ldl)which in turn plays an important role in the development of atherosclerotic diseases; however,triglyceride (tg) rich vldl1 has been shown to be more deleterious than cholesteryl ester (ce) rich vldl2. ther...

background: some coincidental disorders with migraine have been introduced that may have role in its pathogenesis or aggravation. in this study we determined the relative frequency of hyperlipidemia as a coincidental disorder in patients affected by migraine. methods: a total of 102 migraine-affected patients according to international headache society (his) criteria and 103 control subjects ad...

BACKGROUND Menopausal health in our environment has received little attention. As an independent risk factor for dyslipidaemia, the degree and pattern of derangement, though difficult to assess may adversely affect the cardiovascular health of our women. OBJECTIVES To estimate the serum lipid profile and the atherogenic index of plasma in normal post menopausal women. METHODS This is a cros...

A mathematical model describing the uptake of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles by a single hepatocyte cell is formulated and solved. The model includes a description of the dynamic change in receptor density on the surface of the cell due to the binding and dissociation of the lipoprotein particles, the subsequent internalisation of bound particles...

Triglyceride (TG) or more accurately triacylglycerol is simply a compound of three acyl groups (fatty acids) attached to a glycerol molecule. They are easily measured in the laboratory and reported as serum TG level: it actually refers to all of the TG that are being trafficked within all of the lipoproteins that exist in a deciliter of plasma. A physiologic fasting TG concentration is on avera...

background: serum lipids abnormalities have been observed in various forms of cancers including acute leukemia. investigators report decreased total cholesterol and hdl, and elevated triglyceride in leukemic patients. limited studies had been performed to discover the correlation between abnormal lipids profile and disease activity in leukemic patients in iran. this study was done to evaluate t...
