Background: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the changes of serum lipid profile in apparently healthy shift workers and non shift workers to identify the possible high risk factors for developing atherosclerotic changes. Methods: Serum Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL-Cholesterol and LDL-Cholesterol levels were estimated and blood pressure was measured in apparently healthy adult shift worker and non shift worker participants. Total 60 subjects age ranged from 20-50 years were selected, of whom 30 were shift workers (Study) for at least one year and 30 were non shift workers (control). Height, weight and resting blood pressure of all the subjects were recorded before collection of blood. Blood samples were collected after over night fasting for estimation of serum lipid and lipoprotein levels and were measured by standard laboratory technique. Data were analyzed by unpaired ‘t' test. Results: The mean serum Total Cholesterol and LDL-Cholesterol levels were significantly higher in shift workers compared to those of non shift workers. Again mean serum Triglyceride and HDL-Cholesterol levels in the shift workers did not differ significantly from that of non shift workers. These changes may be related to internal desynchronization due to disruption of circadian rhythm. Conclusion: The changes in serum lipid and lipoprotein levels with the exception of HDL-Cholesterol and Triglyceride in the subjects engaged in shift work may put them at increased risk for coronary artery disease.

Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel contains anthocyanin, fiber and vitamin C, so it can be used to improve lipid profile in dyslipidemia. The peel of the dragon fruit is not durable, so in this study we used freeze-dried dragon fruit peel. The aim of this study was to prove that the administration of the red dragon fruit peel in a dose of 0.72 g/200 g BW, 1.08 g/200 g BW, and 1.44 g/200 g BW of rat per day for 28 days may improve lipid profile in male wistar strain white rats with high-fat diet. Lipid profiles were studied by examining of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. This was a pure experimental study using randomized post test only control group design. This study used experimental animal of 30 male wistar strain white rats which were divided into five groups. Measurements of total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol levels were done by CHOD-PAP method, while triglyceride level was measured with GPO-PAP method. Data were analyzed statistically by One Way Anova test. The results of this study indicated that giving the peel of red dragon fruit as much as 0.72 g lowered total cholesterol levels, 1.08 g lowered total and LDL cholesterol levels, and 1.44 g lowered total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and raised HDL cholesterol level. Red dragon fruit peel can be used alternatively to improve lipid profile in dyslipidemia.

Introduction: Several studies have examined tracking pattern of lipid profile level during long follow-up periods in Western countries. However, there have been few such studies in East Asia. Hypothesis: We assessed the hypothesis that there exists tracking pattern of lipid profile level from adolescence to adulthood, and lipid measurements in adolescence can predict adult dyslipidemia in South Korea. Methods: The Kangwha Study was a community-based prospective cohort study that started in 1986 in Kangwha County, South Korea . A total of 400 participants (54% women) whose serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level were measured at least once during adolescence (1992-1996), and repeatedly measured at least once during adulthood (2005-2015) were enrolled in our study. Body mass index, waist circumstance, and blood pressure were measured at all measurements. Family history of cardiovascular disease, smoking history, and presence of adult dyslipidemia were checked at adulthood. The tracking pattern of lipid profile level was determined by tracking coefficients (low: <0.30; moderate: 0.30-0.59; moderately high: 0.60-0.89; high: ≥0.90). The tracking coefficients were calculated by Generalized Estimating Equation. The predictability of adult dyslipidemia was assessed by multiple logistic regression and area under curve (AUC) value. Additional analyses were performed to find out whether repeated lipid measurements during adolescence can enhance the predictability of adult dyslipidemia or not. Results: The presence of adult dyslipidemia was 26.3% (105 of 400). Mean age of study participants at enrollment is 13.8 years (SD, 1.6 years), and that at adulthood is 30.1 years (SD, 3.7 years). When adjusted for age, body mass index, waist circumstance, and blood pressure, the tracking coefficient of total cholesterol was 0.59 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.54-0.63), that of triglyceride was 0.39 (95% CI, 0.28-0.49), and that of HDL cholesterol was 0.51 (95% CI, 0.46-0.55). The AUC value of our multiple logistic regression model on adult dyslipidemia without lipid profile levels at adolescence was 0.77 (95% CI, 0.72-0.83), and that with lipid profile levels at adolescence was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.75-0.85). P value for AUC comparison was significant (p=0.02). In additional analyses, using the average lipid profile levels in multiple lipid measurements at adolescence did not significantly improve the AUC value (p>0.09). Conclusion: In conclusion, moderate tracking patterns of serum lipid profile level were shown in this study. Serum lipid profile measurements at adolescence could help the prediction of adult dyslipidemia. The results of this study supported the need of lipid profile screening at adolescence.

Increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality were reported in GH deficiency (GHD), and GH replacement can ameliorate cardiac abnormalities of adult GHD patients. To test the potential progression of untreated GHD on the cardiovascular risk and cardiac function, cardiovascular risk factors, cardiac size, and performance were prospectively evaluated in 15 GHD patients (age, 18–56 yr) who were treated with recombinant GH at the dose of 0.15–1.0 mg/d, 15 GHD patients (age, 18–56 yr) who refused GH replacement, and 30 healthy subjects (age, 18–53 yr). Electrocardiogram, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate measurement, serum IGF-I, total cholesterol, low- and high-density lipoprotein (LDL, HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and fibrinogen level assay, echocardiography, and equilibrium radionuclide angiography were performed basally and after 12 months. At study entry, low IGF-I levels, unfavorable lipid profile, and inadequate cardiac and physical performance were found in GHD patients compared with controls. After 12 months of GH treatment, IGF-I levels normalized; HDL-cholesterol levels, left ventricular (LV) mass index (LVMi), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at peak exercise, peak filling rate, exercise duration and capacity significantly increased; total- and LDL-cholesterol levels significantly decreased. After 12 months in GH-untreated GHD patients, IGF-I levels remained stable, and HDL-cholesterol levels, LVEF both at rest and at peak exercise, and exercise capacity were further reduced; total- and LDL-cholesterol levels increased slightly. LVEF at rest and its response at peak exercise normalized in 60 and 53.3%, respectively, of GH-treated patients and in none of the GH-untreated patients. In conclusion, 12 months of GH replacement normalized IGF-I and improved lipid profile and cardiac performance in adult GHD patients. A similar period of GH deprivation induced a further impairment of lipid profile and cardiac performance. This finding strongly supports the need of GH replacement in adult GHD patients.

Background: Nowadays, cardiovascular disease caused by hypercholesterolemia has become the main cause of death. Propolis has been used widely to reduce plasma cholesterol levels.Objective: The aims of this research was to study the effect of propolis on lipid profile of hypercholesterolemic Sprague Dawley rats.Method: This was an experimental study with pre-post test. Twenty four (24) male Sprague Dawley rats aged 12-16 week old, weighing 125-200 g were allocated into 4 groups. Group I received standard meal + aquadest-gavage; group II received high cholesterol meal + PTU 0,01 + aquadest gavage; group III received high cholesterol meal + PTU 0,01 + 0,027 g propolis gavage; group IV received high cholesterol meal + PTU 0,01 + 0,054 g propolis gavage. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels before and after treatment were measured. The data were then analyzed with One Way Anova.Results: The study showed that there were no significant differences in changes of body weight. There were significant differences in total cholesterol levels between all groups of treatment. Triglyceride levels were significantly different among all groups, except between group I and IV. Furthermore, the HDL cholesterol levels of group I vs III and group I vs IV were significantly different. However, there were no differences found in LDL cholesterol levels among all groups of treatment.Conclusion: Provision of 0,027 g and 0,054 g propolis improve lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels) of hypercholesterolemic rats.

IntroductionPositive regulatory domain containing 16 (PRDM16) protein represents the key regulator of brown adipose tissue (BAT) development. It induces brown fat phenotype and represses white adipose tissue specific genes through the association with C-terminal binding co-repressor proteins (CtBP1 and CtBP2). In healthy adults presence of BAT has been associated with lower glucose, total cholesterol and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels. Our aim was to analyze the association of PRDM16 gene (rs12409277) and CtBP2 gene (rs1561589) polymorphisms with body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose level and lipid profile of adolescents.Material and methodsOur study included 295 healthy school children, 145 boys (49.2%) and 150 girls (50.8%), 15 years of age. Genotypes for the selected polymorphisms were detected by the real-time PCR method. Age, gender, height, weight, lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides) and fasting glucose levels were recorded.ResultsWe did not find a statistically significant association of rs12409277 and rs1561589 polymorphisms with BMI, fasting glucose and lipid profile of adolescents. We further analyzed the combined effect of the two SNPs and the statistical analysis showed that carriers of CT genotype of rs12409277 polymorphism and GG genotype of rs1561589 polymorphism had significantly lower total cholesterol (p = 0.001) and LDL cholesterol (p = 0.008) levels compared to all other groups of genotypes.ConclusionsOur study suggests that rs12409277 and rs1561589 polymorphism might have an influence on total and LDL cholesterol levels in adolescents. Larger studies should be performed in order to confirm our results.

Background : Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by acquired deficiency in insulin production by the pancreas, or by the ineffectiveness of using the produced insulin. Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) can help lower blood glucose levels, improve lipid profile and reduce levels of MDA.Objective : to analyze the effect of oyster mushroom on blood glucose levels, lipid profile and MDA levels in STZ induced rats as type 1 DM model. Methods : thirty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: one positive group (1) and two treated group which received 100 mg/kgBB (2) and 200 mg/kgBB (3) oyster mushroom extract, respectively. The interventions were carried out for 30 days. The examination of blood glucose levels, lipid profile and MDA levels was before and after the intervention. The differences inthe datapre-post interventions were analyzed by paired t-test, whereas the differences between the groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and kruskal wallis followed by post hoc analysis. Results : the treatment group experienced a decrease in blood glucose levels, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, MDA and an increase in HDL cholesterol levels post-intervention (p < 0,001). Oyster mushroom extract with the dose of 200 mg/kg was more effective in lowering blood glucose levels, MDA levels and improving lipid profiles (p < 0,001).Conclusion : Oyster mushrooms administration lowers blood glucose levels, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, MDA and increases HDL cholesterol levels.

A prospective study was conducted in the Northern region of Bangladesh, to investigate the serum lipid profile viz the level of total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol of hypertensive patients and compares them with levels of control subjects. The results revealed that serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol were significantly markedly raised (p>0.001) whereas the level of HDL-cholesterol was significantly lower (p>0.001) in hypertensive patients as compared to control subjects. No significant changes of serum lipid profile were found between male and female hypertensive patients, but in control subjects, markedly higher levels of serum lipid profile was observed in male compared to that of female. It was concluded that hypercholesterolaemia, hypertrigyceridaemia and low density lipoprotein are the main lipid abnormalities on the incidence of hypertension in the study area. Key words: Hypertension, Total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), HDL- cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. J. bio-sci. 14: 93-98, 2006

The cause of metabolic syndrome is still not known for sure, but it is suspected that the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome is associated with insulin resistance and central obesity. Researchers have attempted to evaluate insulin resistance using various serum lipid concentration ratio. This study was to observe the association between insulin resistance and lipid profile ratio using HOMA-IR in metabolic syndrome patients. This study was a cross-sectional that was conducted in Inpatient and Outpatient Adam Malik Hospital during March 2016 - April 2016. Subjects were patients with metabolic syndrome criteria according to the International Diabetic Federation 2005. All samples were examined for their waist circumference, weight, height, blood pressure, insulin, serum glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Triglycerides. Among sixty-six patients in the study 40 (60.6%) were male and 26 (39.4%) female. In this study, there was a significant correlation between HOMA-IR with CT/HDL ratio (r: 0.244 p <0.05); and there was no correlated HOMA-IR, and TG/HDL ratio (r: 0.086 p > 0.05) and there was no correlation between HOMA-IR and LDL/HDL (r: 0.336 p > 0.05). There was a significant relationship between insulin resistance and ratio CT/HDL

The impacts of thyroid hormones (TH) on lipid profile in euthyroid adults have gained much attention. It is currently unknown whether BMI influences such interaction. In the present study, we investigate the role of BMI in modulating the association between TH and lipid parameters in 1372 euthyroid healthy adults. Our results show that thyroid parameters are differentially associated with lipid profile. FT3 is positively correlated with total cholesterol (β=0.176±0.046, P<0.001) and LDL cholesterol levels (β=0.161±0.040, P<0.001). FT4 is negatively correlated with TG (β=−0.087±0.029, P<0.01) while positively correlated with HDL cholesterol levels (β=0.013±0.005, P<0.01). TSH is positively associated with TG (β=0.145±0.056, P<0.05) and total cholesterol levels (β=0.094±0.030, P<0.01). Importantly, BMI modulates the effect of TH on lipid profile: the interaction of FT4 and BMI and the interaction of FT3 and BMI reach statistical significance in predicting TG and HDL cholesterol levels, respectively. Stratified according to BMI levels, most associations between TH and lipid profile are significant only in normal-weight group. In conclusion, in euthyroid adults, high normal FT3, TSH levels, and low normal FT4 levels are associated with unfavorable lipid profile. BMI mediates the effect of thyroid function on lipid profile in euthyroid adults.
