Before And After

To evaluate the effect of Ramadan fast on serum lipid profile status of men, the study was carried out in the National Mushroom Development and Extension Centre, Sobhanbag, Savar Dhaka in association with the Department of Pharmacy and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka. The experiment was conducted before and after the Arabic month, Ramadan, when there occurs a change both in the pattern and timing of dietary intake. Findings of the study shows Ramadan fast significantly reduced serum Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL-C) (p = 0.011). A statistically non significant reduction of total Cholesterol (TC) (p = 0.340), small elevation of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL-C) (p = 0.252) and Triglyceride (TG) (p = 0.502) were also observed. Considering the findings of the study it was noticeable that one month Ramadan fast can improve lipid profile status of blood and hence able to improve atherosclerotic diseases which includes hypertension, ischemic heart disease and stroke.

Ramadan Fasting

The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of fasting for a period of one month during Ramadan on the lipid profile of Bangladeshi female volunteers who fasted during the Arabic month of Ramadan, when there occurs a change, both in the pattern and timing of dietary intake. Findings of the study showed that Ramadan fast significantly reduced serum Total cholesterol (TC) (p=0.030) and Low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) (p=0.011). A statistically nonsignificant elevation of triglyceride (TG)) was observed (p=0.598). High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) also found to be raised significantly at the end of fasting (p = 0.037). Findings of the study revealed that fasting during the month of Ramadan changes lipid profile pattern in an aniatherogenic direction and may be beneficial to health.

Introduction: Looking at the health status of our country Nepal, iron deficiency anemia fits rightly in our socioeconomic status and dyslipidemia is the rising one along with being more highlighted these days. Some studies show an association between iron deficiency anemia and dyslipidemia but the data are controversial. Therefore, this study is aimed to find the relationship between iron deficiency anemia and serum lipid profile in the Nepalese context.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital from June 2019 to August 2020. 76 Iron deficiency anemia and 75 age and sex-matched healthy control were investigated for any possible changes in serum lipid profile: triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol.Results: The mean triglyceride in case and control was 92.96 mg/dl and 99.87 mg/dl respectively. The difference between these two groups was statistically significant (p=<0.001). Moreover, serum total cholesterol level in the case (138.82 mg/dl) was significantly lower than the control (146.67 mg/dl). The mean high-density lipoprotein was almost the same in anemic and non-anemic groups, p=<0.001. While the mean low-density lipoprotein in theiron-deficiency anemia group was significantly lower than the control group (p=<0.001).Conclusions: In this study, the values of the lipid profile parameters: triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol in cases were found to be lower than those in the controls.

AbstractIschemic heart disease is currently an epidemic affecting individuals worldwide. Increased incidence along with earlier onset of disease has led to the constant search for biomarkers that will help in earlier identification and treatment of at risk individuals. Small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) is the atherogenic subtype of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). It is smaller in size and higher in density in comparison to other LDL subtypes. Higher levels of sdLDL have beenfound to be associated with increased incidence of ischemic heart disease and adverse outcomes. Properties including decreased resistance to oxidative stress and prolonged residence time in the circulation account for its increased atherogenic potential. Hence intervention approaches targeting sdLDL directly in at risk individuals may be beneficial.Genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors affect sdLDL levels.But the main determining factor is the level of triglycerides (TGs). Higher TG levels are associated with higher levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) 1 and sdLDL. Various drugs have been used for targeting sdLDL with varying outcomes; drugs tried out include statins, fibrates, niacin, cholesterol ester transfer protein inhibitors and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors. Future prospects include modification of enzymes involved in fatty acid and TG synthesis, for example, lipoprotein lipase and acyl CoA carboxylase. However, further research is still necessary to draw clear guidelines for sdLDL reduction therapy in coronary artery disease treatment and prevention.

The efficiency of oat bran and barley bran in lowering the induced hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia in blood of male Albino rats (Rattus rattus) was studied. Twenty rats were divided into four groups each consisted of five rats and fed the specified test diets for eight weeks. The first group (G1) is the negative group which was fed basal diet, the second group (G2) was fed 1.0% cholesterol, was the third group (G3) fed 1.0% cholesterol and 10% oats bran, and the fourth group (G4) was fed 1.0% cholesterol and 10% barley bran. Feeding rats on 1% cholesterol significantly increased serum total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, and very low density lipoprotein and triglyceride and decreased serum high density lipoprotein. Furthermore, enzyme activity of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase was increased, and lipid peroxide was increased, whereas catalase and glutathione-S-transferase were decreased. Kidney functions parameters in the cholesterol supplemented group were elevated compared with the negative control. In addition, histological alteration in kidney, liver, heart, and testes was observed, compared with the negative control. Hypercholesterolemic rats supplemented with oat bran and barley bran showed significant decrease in lipid parameters, significant increase in high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, improved antioxidant enzyme, and improved histopathology of kidney, liver, heart, and testes. In conclusion, both oat bran and barley bran had protective effects against induced hyperlipidemia and improved histological alterations. Oat bran appeared more efficient than barley bran in lowering the lipid profile levels in hypercholesterolemic rats.

Background: A comparative study of serum lipid profile and magnesium levels in normal pregnancy versus preeclampsia (PE).Methods: A prospective study done for 2 years (October 2014 to October 2016) in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Narayana medical college and hospital, a tertiary care centre, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India. A sample size of 200 pregnant women, recruited and divided into group A and B. group A being women with PE and group B is normal pregnant women.A10ml of venous blood was collected in the fasting state and serum collected from clotted blood to measure lipid profile, magnesium, Apo lipoprotein A-I and Apo lipoprotein B 100.Serum Lipid profile  measured by enzymatic method using commercially available kit Human (GmbH Germany) using humastar 600 chemistry analyzer (Human GmbH Germany). Serum magnesium measured by dye binding method using commercially available kit Human (GmbH Germany) using Humastar 600 chemistry analyzer (Human GmbH Germany). Serum ApoA-I and ApoB were measured by immune-turbidometry using commercial kits from Spinreact Spain. Urine albumin done by dipstick method.Results: Serum total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), Apo lipoprotein B 100 (Apo B100) were high and serum Magnesium, high density lipoprotein (HDL) and Apo lipoprotein A1(Apo A1) were low in the study group (group A) compared to controls (group B).Conclusions: Abnormal lipid profile (low HDL and increased TG concentration) and serum hypomagnesaemia may be contributing etiologies of preeclampsia, having good predictive value as a screening procedure for PE in high risk pregnant population.
