A survey was conducted through the SECUBA (SEguridad alimentaria en CUba y Buena Alimentación) research program in Cuban healthy smokers living in Guantánamo and in Havana. The aim of the survey was to investigate biological and nutritional factors ...
Blood cholesterol levels are affected by diet and in particular by the type and amount of fat intake. In recent years, vegetable oil spreads containing plant sterols/stanols (as their fatty acid esters) have been developed. Numerous clinical trials on ...
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cholesterol plus methionine feeding may be a convenient model to produce atherosclerosis in rats, and also to examine the contribution of oxidative stress to this development. For this reason, lipid ...
Amaranth was an important ancient grain and has current nutritional potential, being high in protein, fiber, lysine, magnesium, calcium, and squalene. Limited, inconsistent evidence demonstrates amaranth grain or oil can lower cholesterol in animal ...
We report on an evaluation of intake and blood concentrations of antioxidant vitamins in a cross-sectional study of 104 German vegans, and examine the association between blood concentration of antioxidant vitamins and their intake as well as fruit and ...
This study was undertaken to assess the effect of concentrated pomegranate juice consumption on lipid profiles of type II diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia (total cholesterol or triglycerides ≥ 200 mg/dL). In this pilot study 22 diabetic patients were ...
Background: The study evaluates the effect of a high supplemental dose of ascorbic acid (AA) on plasma concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), total lipids (TL), and lipoprotein fractions high-density, very-low-density-, and low-...
Abstract.Introduction: The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing worldwide. High cholesterol intake may increase the risk of hyperglycemia, yet little research has evaluated the relation between cholesterol or egg as a main ...
Abstract:Background: Many studies have investigated the effect of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation on lipid profile, and different results have been obtained from these studies. The current systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis was ...
Hintergrund: Oxidative Modifikation von Low-Density-Lipoproteinen (LDL) verursacht eine vermehrte Einlagerung von Lipiden in die Arterienwand und steigert somit das atherogene Potential. Patienten haben verschiedene Lipoprotein-Profile, die von der ...
Dyslipidemia is one of the main modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. There is strong evidence for the efficacy of lipid-lowering drugs in secondary prevention, as well as in primary prevention for patients at high cardiovascular risk. In primary ...
LDL-Lowering DrugsAbstract. Hypercholesterolemia is one of the best documented modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. We discuss the basics of drug therapy for hypercholesterolemia in primary and secondary prevention. The ...
CME-Laboratory 61: New European Consensus Recommendations on DyslipidemiaAbstract. The lipid status primarily serves to estimate the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) ...
Doctor, Do You Know Red Yeast Rice?Abstract. We present cases of patients with high total cholesterol who wanted to use an alternative therapy for lowering cholesterol. An improvement in the lipid profile was ...
