Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the vascular wall which can alter the whole vascular system of both the aorta and coronary arteries. Sesame seeds are one of the richest sources of dietary lignans which exhibit diverse functions and valuable effects such as anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative activities. Objectives: In this study, the Effect of sesame lignans on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), serum lipid profile, and serum levels of VEGF, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and vWF were evaluated in cardiovascular (CVD) patients. Methods: In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, thirty-six CVD patients who were candidates for angiography participated for 10 weeks. The subjects were asked to use 500 mg/day sesame lignans (lignan group, n = 19) or placebo (placebo group (starch), n = 17). The CIMT was measured by ultrasound and fasting blood samples were taken before and after the intervention. Results: Sesame lignans supplementation showed a significant decrease in both left and right CIMT, serum lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, and ICAM-1 serum levels compared to baseline and placebo (P < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings indicate that sesame lignans may contribute to the reduction of CIMT and prevent future cardiovascular events and so may be considered as a complementary therapeutic approach in CVD

Objective. The purpose of this prospective study was to ascertain if lipid profile parameters could serve as predictors of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), which, when combined, may improve the sensitivity of sonographic CIMT measurement in the diagnosis of subclinical atherosclerotic changes. Methods. The lipid profiles and CIMT of 181 subjects without cardiovascular risk factors were measured at the internal, external, common, and bulbar segments. Results. The mean CIMT values obtained were 0.620 ± 0.055 cm for men and 0.575 ± 0.051 cm for women, and the η2 values (η2 < 0.04) were used as a measure of association. Across all segments of both carotid arteries, lipid profiles were significantly and moderately associated with but not predictive of CIMT (fasting blood sugar, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein: η2 = 0.99–0.24). Conclusions. Although lipid profiles were moderately associated with CIMT, they are not significant predictors; hence, combining them with CIMT does not improve the diagnostic sensitivity of sonography in atherosclerosis screening.
