Sports form the metabolic response caused by the body’s adaptation to increased physical stress, which leads to the restructuring of metabolism for energy and plastic maintenance of sport activities. The restructuring of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism is caused primarily by the increasing energy request body, depending on type and intensity of sports activity. In this research blood serum lipids were studied depending on the orientation of the training process. A total of 108 athletes (men and women) aged 15 to 20 years of different sports qualification (I sports category, Candidate Master of Sports and Master of Sports) were examined, and a control group of 28 persons of the same age and gender. Depending of the direction of the training process there were isolated 3 groups: cyclical sport that develops mainly endurance (academic rowing); sports of complex nature (football, volleyball, handball and Nordic combined); and complex coordinated sports (artistic gymnastics). Were studied: total cholesterol, high density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, atherogenic coefficient and triglycerides. The study was conducted in the preparatory period of the training cycle. The research had shown that the level of blood lipids depends on the orientation of training process and sports training. The most marked reduction of total cholesterol and high-density lipoproteins has been observed both in men and women in cyclic kinds of sports, developing mainly stamina that indicates that intense exercise in athletes who train primarily for endurance, cause the connection of lipids to the processes of energy supply of muscle activity.

The aim of the research. Assessing the impact of chronic hyperglycemia on the parameters of the protein, lipid metabolism and platelet-coagulation haemostasis in patients with active phase of acromegaly. Materials and methods: The research included 58 patients with the active phase of acromegaly (36 women and 28 men), median age 50 (43, 57) years, disease duration 9.0 (5.0, 15.0) years, 26 of whom had verified diabetes mellitus. Results: Biochemical parameters and parameters of haemostasis in patients with active phase of acromegaly with normoglycemia differed from the control group by higher levels of total cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins, an increase in the average volume of platelet aggregation and enhancement of their function. The presence of diabetes mellitus was accompanied by the increase in concentration of total cholesterol, triglycerides, decrease in high-density lipoproteins, and increase in fibrinogen concentration, soluble fibrin-monomeasured complexes, as well as reduction of disaggregation properties of platelets and enhancement of ejection reactions. Conclusion: The presence of diabetes mellitus with acromegaly can be regarded as a significant risk factor for atherogenic dyslipidemia, hyperfibrinogenemia and platelet disfunction.

Although potatoes are highly nutritious, many epidemiological studies have connected their consumption with abnormal lipids, diabetes, and hypertension. Steamed potato bread has recently become one of China’s staple foods. A randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effect of steamed potato bread consumption on Chinese adolescents. Four classes from a high school were randomly selected and assigned to the intervention group (two classes) or control group (two classes). The steamed wheat bread (100% raw wheat flour) and potato bread (raw wheat flour to cooked potato flour ratio of 3:7) were provided to the control group and intervention group as staple food once a school day for 8 weeks, respectively. Compared with the control group, the intervention group had significant net changes in systolic blood pressure (4.6 mmHg, p = 0.010), insulin (−4.35 mIU/L, p < 0.001), total cholesterol (−0.13 mmol/L, p = 0.032), and high-density lipoproteins cholesterol (−0.07 mmol/L, p = 0.010). The urinary level of Na+/K+ did not differ between the groups. In conclusion, the intake of steamed potato bread for 8 weeks resulted in positive effects on the total cholesterol and insulin profiles but a negative effect on the systolic blood pressure and high-density lipoproteins cholesterol of adolescents.

Abstract Background and Aims Structural and functional changes in the cardiovascular system in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will lead to decreased exercise tolerance, decreased quality of life, and, ultimately, premature death. The aim of this study was to study morphometric changes in the left ventricle of the heart depending on the direction of therapeutic physical training. Method The study involved 60 patients with CKD stage C3. The average age of the patients was 54.2 ± 3.40 years. The average level of GFR for the sample as a whole was 79.1 ± 9.4 ml / min / 1.73 m2. The control group (CG) consisted of 20 people (10 men and 10 women) comparable to the main group in terms of gender and age. The examination of patients included a general examination, assessment of complaints, collection of anamnestic data, anthropometry with calculation of BMI cardiopulmonary stress test, echocardiography. According to the data of the cardiopulmonary stress test, 3 groups were formed on the basis of the predominant manifestation of any physical quality in the course of therapeutic training: group 1 (n = 20) - with a respiratory orientation of the training process; 2nd group (n = 20) - with a focus on cardio loads; 3rd group (n = 20) - development of predominantly endurance. Results Of all groups of patients with CKD, the LVMM indicator reached the highest values in men in group 2 (with a cardio-load orientation of the treatment-training process), as well as in women in group 3 (predominantly endurance development). It is this orientation of the training process that has the greatest effect on the increase in the mass of the left ventricular myocardium in patients with CKD. The 2nd group of patients with CKD stage CKD had the highest values of LVTD in diastole both among men and women. In addition, men in this group had the highest RTI per systole. In patients of the 2nd group, undergoing mainly cardio load, the change concerned a slightly more pronounced increase in the wall thickness of the left ventricle. In the 3rd group of patients with CKD stages C3, both men and women had the maximum values of TMV in diastole, as well as LVTD in systole. Types of physiotherapy exercises with a predominance of endurance in physical exertion are distinguished by the most pronounced signs of left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy. Conclusion The present study has shown that patients with pre-dialysis CKD have decreased maximal and submaximal exercise tolerance. Analysis of the data obtained made it possible to reveal the peculiarities of adaptation of the cardiovascular system of patients with CKD stages CKD to a specific type of therapeutic training and to determine the quantitative values of echocardiographic parameters in patients with CKD.

Objective: the aim of this study was to assess the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment on the complete blood count, glycemic and lipid profiles in cardiopathic patients with indication for surgical revascularization. Material and Methods: this study evaluated 22 patients with chronic periodontitis, over 35 years of age (mean age 59.45 years) randomly assigned to 2 groups. The test group (n=11) received periodontal treatment before the surgical procedure and the control group (n=11) did not receive periodontal treatment prior to surgery. Results: periodontal treatment resulted in a significant reduction in probing depth in sites with periodontal probing depth >3 mm (reduction of 11.4%) and >5 mm (reduction of 6.3%) (P<0.05). The differences in clinical attachment level were not statistically significant between the groups (P>0.05). The values regarding to leukocyte count, glucose, hemocyte and hemoglobin did not differ significantly between groups (P>0.05). Total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein presented a statistically significant reduction in the test group (P<0.05). Light density lipoprotein showed no statistically significant difference between groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: non-surgical periodontal treatment was effective for controlling periodontal disease and diminished serum levels of total cholesterol and high density lipoproteins. The other blood components presented no significant alterations.

Background: Evidence shows that high density lipoproteins (HDLs) may exert multiple anti-atherogenic and anti-thrombotic effects that together decrease the risk of cardiovascular morbidity in hyperlipidaemic state. Experimental studies showed that fresh wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum Linn.) juice exerts lipid lowering effect as well as increases HDL-cholesterol level in rats. Objective: The present study was done to observe the effect of wheatgrass juice on serum HDL-cholesterol on experimentally induced dyslipidaemic rats evident by reduced HDL-cholesterol level. Materials and method: This experimental study was carried out in the Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, from July 2009 to June 2010. A total number of 48 healthy adult male Long Evans rats, age ranging from 2-3 months, and weighing from 140-200 grams were used for the present study. Six rats were taken in each group of total 8 groups treated differently with 1 control group. Rats of the first 5 groups were sacrificed at 29th day and their lipid profile was measured. Rests of the rats were sacrificed at 57th day and their lipid profile was measured. Results: Mean HDL-cholesterol of the group of rats treated with 10 mL/kg grass juice and 1% cholesterol diet, with 10 mL/kg grass juice and with 20 mL/kg grass juice were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.05, P<0.01 respectively). The mean HDL-cholesterol of the group treated with Atorvastatin for 28 days were also significantly increased (P<0.001).Conclusion: The present experiment showed that HDL-cholesterol level is increased by ingestion of wheat grass juice in experimental animals. Therefore, it provides the initial step for demonstrating cardio-protective effect of wheatgrass juice by increasing HDL-cholesterol level in blood in dyslipidaemic state.

Pulses (i.e., lentils, chickpeas, beans, peas) are low-glycemic index, high-fiber foods that are beneficial for improving blood lipids. Young soccer players typically have low dietary fiber intake, perhaps because of concerns regarding gastro-intestinal problems during exercise performance. Twenty-seven (17 females) soccer players were randomized to receive a pulse-based diet or their regular diet for four weeks in a cross-over study and evaluated for changes in blood lipids and athletic performance, with 19 (22 ± 6y; 12 females) completing the study (eight participants withdrew because of lack of time). Women increased high density lipoproteins (+0.5 ± 0.7 vs. −0.6 ± 0.3 mmol/L; p < 0.01) and reduced total cholesterol to high density lipoprotein ratio (−2.4 ± 2.9 vs. +2.6 ± 2.2; p < 0.01) on the pulse-based vs. regular diet, respectively, while there were no differences between diet phases in men. Athletic performance assessed by distance covered during games by a global positioning system was not significantly different during the pulse-based vs. regular diet (9180 ± 1618 vs. 8987 ± 1808 m per game; p = 0.35). It is concluded that a pulse-based diet can improve blood lipid profile without affecting athletic performance in soccer players.

Rationale: We have previously shown that high-density lipoproteins (HDL) have potent anti-inflammatory properties. HDL levels are decreased in most inflammatory diseases. Corticosteroid therapy modifies lipoproteins profiles in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but results from these studies are inconsistent. Here, we hypothesize that in COPD subjects, prednisone treatment induces beneficial structural and functional changes in HDL thus improving HDL anti-inflammatory properties. Objectives: To elucidate the effect of prednisone on (i) HDL size, composition and subpopulation distribution (ii) the lipid and lipoprotein profiles of subjects with COPD and (iii) HDL anti-inflammatory properties. Methods: We recruited COPD subjects (n=11) treated with prednisone and people treated with antibiotics (n=6) for lower respiratory tract infections (control). Blood samples were collected on days 1, 5 of prednisone treatment and 6 weeks post-treatment. The treatment started with a high-dose (>50 mg) and was reduced over a 5-7 day treatment period. We used gel-filtration chromatography to analyse plasma lipoprotein profiles. ApoA-I, apoA-II, apoB levels were determined immunoturbidometrically; total cholesterol, HDL-C, triglyceride and phospholipid concentrations were determined colorimetrically; and size distribution and surface charge of HDL were determined by 2-D gel electrophoresis. HDL was isolated from plasma and incubated for 16h on human endothelial cells (final protein concentration 1 mg/ml). Cells were further stimulated for 5h with TNF-α (0.2 ng/ml). Adhesion molecule expression (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1) was assessed by flow cytometry. Results: Plasma from prednisone treated subjects showed increased apoA-I (36%), apo-B (51%), total cholesterol (13%) and phospholipid (37%) levels and decreased plasma triglycerides (41%) relative to 6 weeks post-treatment. HDL-C levels were higher in subjects that received high-dose prednisone (0.94±0.21 mmol/L) compared to 6 weeks post-treatment (0.65±0.06 mmol/L) and antibiotic-treated subjects (0.43±0.17 mmol/L). HDL diameter in prednisone treated subjects increased from 7.9 nm to 10 nm. HDL from prednisone-treated subjects suppressed ICAM-1 (70%) and VCAM-1 (65%) protein expression more effectively than the HDL from 6-weeks post-treatment (25% and 12% respectively) or the HDL from the antibiotics-treated subjects (36% and 24% respectively) (p<0.05 for all). Conclusions: In this study, we have shown the evidence that high-dose, short-term prednisone treatment increases HDL levels and improves their anti-inflammatory properties.
