Lipid profile comparative analysis was performed to reveal the interdependence of lipids with Circadian locomoter output cycles protein kaput (CLOCK) 3111T/C gene polymorphism in menopausal women with/without a body mass index (BMI) of ≥25 kg/m2. Methods: A total of 193 female volunteers aged 45 to 60 years were divided into two groups: Those with BMI < 25 kg/m2 (control) and those with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. Each group was then divided into two subgroups: Those with the CLOCK TT-genotype and those with the CLOCK TC-, CC-genotypes. Lipid metabolism parameters were determined by the enzymatic method. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected via polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism technology. Results: There were no differences in CLOCK 3111T/C genotypes or allele frequency between the control and main groups. In addition, there were no differences in lipid profile parameters between women of the control group and different CLOCK 3111T/C genotypes. The total cholesterol (p = 0.041) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.036) levels were higher in the subgroup of women with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and CLOCK TT-genotype as compared to the subgroup with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and minor allele 3111C. Conclusions: SNP 3111T/C of the CLOCK gene is not associated with BMI however, data suggest that the minor allele of the CLOCK 3111T/C gene polymorphism may have a protective role in atherogenic lipid levels in women with a BMI greater than or equal to 25 kg/m2.

The present case control study was designed to determined the relationship between serum Total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Triglycerides (TG) and Body Mass Index (BMI). The study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry Chittagong Medical College during the period of January 2010- December 2010. Samples were collected from population of different area of Chittagong City Corporation of different occupations, age from 35- 60 years. The data were collected by a structured questionaries which includes age, sex, occupation, dietary habits, family history of hyperlipidemia and DM. BMI was calculated by standardized protocol. Population suffering from DM, renal diseases and other endocrine disease were excluded. A total of 105 subjects were included in this study. Among them 70 were considered as case ( whose BMI was 25 kg/m2) and 35 were considered as control ( whose BMI was < 25 Kg/ m2).Serum Total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C and TG were measured in all samples in fasting state. Study showed that female were more obese than male,( 31.14 +2.23kg/m2 Vs 29.71 +2.69kg/mo), p= <0.05.Results showed that Serum TC(45%), LDL-C(65%), TG(70%) were significantly higher in cases than that of controls (p=<0.001).Serum HDL-C(35%) was significantly decreased in cases than that of controls (p=<0.001).Study showed that hypertriglyceridemia (70%) was the common lipid abnormality and then LDL-C (65%). Study revealed that there was no significant difference in lipid profile between male and female. Pearson's Correlation Coefficient showed that there were positive correlation between TC (r=0.234,p=<0.05), LDL-C (r=0.258,p=<0.01), TG (r=0.409,p=<0.001) and BMI, and was negative correlation between HDL-C(r= -0.403, p= <0.001) and BMI. So early detection and prevention of obesity and abnormal lipid profile can largely reduce morbidity and mortality and alleviate undue burden on our limited health budget.

Abstract: Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement of nutritional status by calculating the ratio of height and weight. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is more common in a person with a BMI of more than normal. In patients with T2DM, there is lipid metabolism disorder, dyslipidaemia. Changes in lipid profiles consist of increased levels of total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides, and decreased levels of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). This study aimed to obtain the correlation between body mass index and lipid profile in T2DM patients in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This was a descriptive analytical study using patients’ medical record in Endocrine Clinic Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from September to November 2015. The Pearson correlation test showed correlations between BMI and total cholesterol levels with r=0.037and p=0.763; between BMI and HDL levels with r=-0.249 and p=0.039; between BMI and LDL levels with r=0.091 and p=0,455; and between BMI and triglyceride levels with r=0.179 and p=0.142. Conclusion: Among T2DM patients, there were no significant correlations between body mass index and total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, as wello as triglyceride levels. However, there was a significant correlation between body mass index and HDL levels.

Overweight and obesity in youth is a worldwide public health problem. Predisposition to obesity starts during the first or second decade of life. Overweight and obesity in adolescents have a substantial effect upon many systems, resulting in clinical conditions such as metabolic syndrome, early atherosclerosis, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our study was done to find the relation between body mass index (BMI) and lipid profile in young adults (18-20 years) and for the correlation between the various parameters. 150 young adults between 18-20 years of age, who gave written voluntary consent were included in the study. BMI was calculated after measuring height and weight along with fasting blood samples for estimation of blood glucose and lipid profile [Total cholesterol, High density lipoprotein (HDL), Low density lipoprotein (LDL), Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triacylglycerol (TGL)] were measured. The data collected was analysed using Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) statistics software version 20. A linear correlation regression analysis was done to know the correlation between the anthropometric measurements and biochemical parameters. ANOVA test was performed to know the significance and a p value of < 0.01 was taken as significant. All the biochemical parameters showed a positive correlation with BMI. Total cholesterol had the highest positive correlation with BMI. There was a prevalence of 39.3% overweight/obesity as per BMI cut-off. Individuals who were in the obese category had a higher prevalence of abnormal lipid profile especially total cholesterol. Stress and lack of physical activity have a detrimental effect on health and are a major risk factor for development of obesity. 90% of the students in this study did not have any regular physical activity. Educating the students about effects of obesity and dyslipidaemia on quality of health can help in bringing life style modifications which can help them in the long run.

Aim: Scavengers are individuals who gather waste and recyclable materials from refuse dumpsites, and thus are exposed to varieties of deleterious substances that have the potential to modulate and affect human health. This study was designed to assess the lipid and atherogenic profile of scavengers utilising refuse dumpsites in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.  Methodology: Fifty (50) exposed (scavengers) aged 31.32±9.49 years and 50 non-exposed (control) aged 32.92 ±10.63 years (age-matched) male subjects were sampled. The blood pressure was measured and body mass index calculated from the height and weight of the subjects. Total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein and triglycerides levels of the subjects were determined from fasting serum samples using standard spectrophotometric methods. Atheogenic ratios were also computed using established formulae. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 and expressed as mean and standard deviations. Variations between parameters was considered significant at p<0.05. Results: The result obtained revealed that the mean ± SD of total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoprotein showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) while the level of high density lipoprotein showed significant difference (p < 0.05) between exposed (scavengers) and non-exposed (control) individuals. Body mass index and blood pressure did not also vary significantly (p>0.05) between the two group of subjects. Conclusion: Cardiovascular disease risk exist among the study subjects as revealed by atherogenic profiling of the subjects indicating the need for life style changes and socio economic intervention among the subjects.

Background. Changes in lipid profile are commonly reported in adult patients with malaria. However, a few studies evaluated lipid abnormalities in children continuously exposed toP. vivax.Objective. To evaluate lipid abnormalities in children withP. vivaxinfection and to assess if parasite count or the history of malaria correlates with lipid levels at admission.Methods. A total of 75 children were included in the study, from which 43 were slide confirmed infection byP. vivax. Serial blood samples were collected at admission and, on days 7 and 14, evaluated for the colorimetric measurements of triglycerides, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL).Results. The levels of total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL were significantly lower in malaria cases. The levels of VLDL and triglycerides were significantly higher in children with malaria. Such changes were transient and were not associated with parasite counting as well as with the history of malaria of patients.Conclusion. There are significant lipid abnormalities in children with low level ofP. vivaxinfection and mild signs and symptoms of the disease, which are not associated with parasitaemia and previous episodes of disease.

Tea Benalu (Scurrula atropurpurea [Bl.] Dans.) and Mango Benalu (Dendrophthoe pentandra L. miq.) containssecondary metabolites with potential antioxidant potential. Antioxidants can inhibit the oxidation process and reduce Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and increase High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL). The safety of the preparations for the combination of parasites of tea and mango leaves was tested to obtain toxic effects after repeated treatment tests over some time. The purpose of this study was to determine the toxic effects of a combination of methanolic extracts of a combination of tea parasites and mangoes in female rats (Rattus norvegicus) subchronically for 28 days by looking at the results of the clinical biochemical examination on lipid profiles, namely total cholesterol levels, triglycerides, high-density lipoproteins (28%). HDL), and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL). The method of this study was experimental with a combination dose of methanol extract of tea parasite leaves and mango parasite leaves at a dose of 250 mg / KgBB, 500 mg / KgBB and 1000 mg / KgBB with 5x replications each treatment. The subjects used white rats (Rattus norvegicus) female Wistar strains aged 6-8 weeks with a minimum body weight of 100 grams. The treatment in this study was in the form of each dose given 5 times a week for 28 days (subchronic toxicity test) orally. Lipid profile levels were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test. The results showed that the level of control blood lipid profile with a treatment dose of 250 mg / KgBW, 500 mg / KgBW, and 1000 mg / KgBW was not significantly different. The toxicity test of combined extracts of tea leaves and mango parasite leaves of female rat Rattus novergicus on subchronic exposure 28 days with those doses showed no difference tangible between treatments of controls. This means it is safe and does not cause toxic properties in the lipid profile of female wistar rats.Keywords: Lipid Profile, Scurrula atropurpurea, Dendophthoe pentandra, Sub-Chronic Toxicity, Rattus norvegicus ABSTRAKBenalu Teh (Scurrula atropurpurea [Bl.] Dans.) dan  Benalu Mangga (Dendrophthoe pentandra L. miq.) mengandung metabolit sekunder berpotensi sebagai antioksidan.

Back ground: Hypertension and dyslipidemia are associated with oxidative stress and are major causes of cardiovascular disease amounting to 30% of global death rate. It is widely accepted that cardiovascular disease is associated with hypertension and increased blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides. In contrast, a low level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) is a risk factor for mortality from cardiovascular disease. Hypertension is a major public health problem in developed and developing countries. Methods: This study was a cross sectional study in which 159 diagnosed hypertensive patient and 75 with normal blood pressure (normotensive) were enrolled. These patients sought a through health cheek up including blood pressure assessment between May 2012 to April 2013 in Tairunnessa Memorial Medical College and Hospital. Lipid parameter total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein ( LDLc) and high density lipoprotein (HDLc) were estimated by enzymatic colorimetric test. Results: The mean of Systolic blood pressure and Diastolic blood pressure of hypertensive were higher than normotensive (p<0.001). The serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-C in hypertensive subject were higher than normotensive and statistically significant (p<0.001). Serum HDL-C was significantly lower (p<0.001) in hypertensive patients than in normotensive. Conclusion: Analytical results of the study revealed that hypertensive patients have been found to have close association with dyslipidemia. Hypertension and dyslipidemia can be modified either by proper life style changes or medical management or by the combination of the both. This study suggests that hypertensive patients need measurement of blood pressure and lipid profile at regular interval to prevent heart diseases and stroke.
