This study investigated the validity of a novel parameter, percussion entropy index (PEI), for assessing baroreflex sensitivity. PEI was acquired through comparing the similarity in tendency of change between the amplitudes of successive digital volume pulse (DVP) signals and changes in R-R intervals (RRI) of successive cardiac cycles. Totally 108 upper middle-aged volunteers were divided into three groups: healthy subjects (Group 1, age 41–80, n=41), those with well-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (Group 2, age 41–82, n=36, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)<6.5%), and patients with poorly controlled T2DM (Group 3, age 44–77, n=31, HbA1c≧6.5%). Percussion entropy index (PEI) was computed from DVP signals acquired through photoplethysmography (PPG) and RRI from electrocardiogram in 1000 successive cardiac cycles for each subject. Autonomic function was also assessed by Poincaré index (SD1/SD2 ratio, SSR), low- to high-frequency power ratio (LFP/HFP, LHR), and small-scale multiscale entropy index (MEISS) for comparison. Demographic, anthropometric, hemodynamic, and serum biochemical parameters of all testing subjects were obtained for investigating the significance of associations with the three parameters. The results showed that MEISS and PEI successfully discriminated among the three groups (p<0.017). However, only PEI showed significant associations with indicators of both acute (i.e., fasting blood sugar concentration, p<0.017) and chronic (i.e., HbA1c level, p<0.001) blood sugar control. Multivariate analysis also showed significant associations of PEI with fasting blood sugar and HbA1c levels in all subjects. The interpreting effect of the two independent variables, HbA1c level and fasting blood sugar concentration, on PEI was 71.4% and 12.3%, respectively. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that additional information on diabetic autonomic dysfunction can be obtained through comparing two simultaneously acquired physiological time series. The significant associations of percussion entropy index with indicators of blood sugar control also highlight its possible role in early screening of the disease.

Hypercholesterolemia is one of the important causes of cardiovascular disease related mortality and morbidity and recently it has become a significant issue in public health problem of developing countries. The purpose of the study was to see the effect of glycine max (soy bean) on serum lipid profile of experimentally induced hyperlipidemic rats. Hypercholesterolemia was induced by high cholesterol diet containing 1% cholesterol in olive oil. This study was done on 24 long Norwegian rats (Rattus norvegicus) weighing about 200-210 gram. For convenience, the study was divided into Experiment I and Experiment II. In experiment I, 12 rats were divided into two groups- Group A (n = 6, control group) fed on laboratory diet and Group B (n=6) fed on laboratory diet and soy bean extract for 35 days. In experiment II, the remaining 12 rats were divided into 2 groups, Group C (n=6) were fed on laboratory diet and high cholesterol diet (HCD) for 35 days and Group D (n=6) were fed laboratory diet and high cholesterol diet on initial 10 days and soy bean extract was added along with high cholesterol diet for next 25 days. Serum TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C were measured after 35 days. HCD increased TG, TC and LDL-C significantly in group C. Glycine max (soy bean) treated group showed that it decreased plasma TC, TG and LDL-C in experimentally induced hyperlipidemic rats but Glycine max (soy bean) did not show any significant lipid lowering effect in normolipidemic rats. The results of this experimental study indicate that Glycine max can act as a cholesterol lowering agent and thereby can improve cardiovascular functions.Bangladesh J Med Biochem 2017; 10(1): 21-26

Aim: A high cholesterol diet (HCD) is known to cause metabolic dysregulation, oxidative stress, cardiovascular diseases and atherogenesis. Zingerone is a pharmacologically active component of dry ginger. Zingerone has been shown to have a wide range of pharmacological properties, including scavenging free radicals, high antioxidant activity, suppressing lipid peroxidation and anti-inflammatory. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Zingerone on HCD-induced atherosclerosis in rats. Methods: Animals were divided into four categories (n = 6). Group I: normal control, Group II: zingerone control (20 mg/kg b.wt.), group III: HCD-induced atherosclerosis, Group IV: HCD + zingerone, respectively, for 8 weeks. Results: The HCD-fed rats resulted in a significant increase in an atherosclerotic lesion, lipid peroxidation, lipid profile, high-density lipoprotein concentration, cardiac markers, body weight, reduced antioxidant status, and displayed atherosclerosis. These findings were conventional by up-regulated expression of lipid regulatory genes like sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein-c (SREBP-c), fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS), liver X receptor–alpha (LXR-α), and down-regulated expression of acetyl-CoA oxidase (ACO), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-α) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 (CPT-1) in HCD-fed rats. These significant changes were observed in the zingerone-treated rats for the last 4 weeks. Conclusion: These findings suggest that zingerone reduced atherosclerosis by modulated the atherosclerotic lesion, lipid profile, antioxidant status and lipid regulatory gene expression in HCD-fed rats.
