Pancreatic Damage

The lipid pattern and levels in diabetic patient are the same as those for subjects with cardiovascular disease. The tactic underlying the oral hypoglycemic agent is to adjust the lipid profile; which can be achieved by herbal therapy. The use of herbs and formulations for attenuation of hyperglycemia and to aid protection against the pancreatic damage is clinically very important. This study was intended to find the efficacy of Katakakhadiradi Kashayam(KKK)on lipid profile and pancreatic tissue damage in streptozotocin-nicotinamide (SN) induced diabetic rats. The diabetic rats were treated with Katakakhadiradi Kashyam orally at doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg/bw. For 28 days and compared with the standard drug Glibenclamide. After the kashayam treatment triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol and total cholesterol level were assayed and pancreatic tissue damage caused by streptozotocin was analysed by histology study.Katakakhadiradi kashayam could restore the serum lipid profile by controlling the blood glucose level and reduce the pancreatic injury in diabetic rats. Supplementation of Katakakhadiradi kashayam showed a significant improvement in the serum lipid profile thus helping in retarding the secondary complications.

Data about lipoprotein changes and their link with cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) are still challenging. We aimed to evaluate serum lipid profile of patients with SSc and to identify potential relation with different disease specific characteristics (clinical, serological, inflammatory tests) in a cross-sectional study. Standard assessments comprised SSc-related parameters (disease subtype, clinical spectrum, immunological tests) and lipid metabolism (total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides). Impaired lipid profile (low serum HDL- and high LDL-cholesterol, increased serum triglycerides, slightly modification in total cholesterol level) significantly correlated with diffuse SSc, activity (EUSTAR) and severity (MEDSGER), as well as seropositivity for specific antibodies (anti-centromere and anti-topoisomerase 1). The dyslipidemic profile might represent a pathobiological pathway for atherosclerosis in SSc.

 Objective: The study was aimed to evaluate the hypolipidemic and antioxidant effect of Triticum aestivum (wheat) bran extraction cholesterol-fed rabbits.Methods: The induced hyperlipidemic rabbits were treated with 70% ethanolic extract of wheat bran at a dose of 500 mg/kg body weight/day. The experimental protocol was designed for control, hyperlipidemic, wheat bran extract, and statin-treated groups for 60 days. The estimations for serum lipid profile, lipid peroxidation (LPO), and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) were done, and histopathological study of thoracic aorta was carried out.Results: Oral administration of wheat bran extract caused significant reductions in the serum lipid profile by 94.30% (total cholesterol), 96.73% (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), and 58.28% (triglycerides). It significantly decreased the LPO and enhanced the antioxidant capacity (FRAP) activity as compared to the hyperlipidemic rabbits. Histopathology revealed that wheat bran extract treatment prevented the accumulation of cholesterol and regressed atheromatous plaques significantly in the aorta as compared to the hyperlipidemic group, and the results were comparable to that of the standard drug statin.Conclusion: The study exhibited that wheat bran extract controls atherosclerosis just like statin and can be used as a regular dietary supplement to manage cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular problems.

AbstractObjectives. Diabetes mellitus is associated with dyslipidemia, which contributes to a higher risk of thrombosis, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. This study evaluated the effects of leucine and resistance training on the serum lipid profile in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes for 8 weeks.Methods. Wistar rats with neonatal streptozotocin-induced diabetes were treated with leucine supplementation (5%) and/or resistance training (3 days per week) for 8 weeks, and divided in DL (diabetic and leucine), DT (diabetic and resistance training group) and DLT (diabetic, leucine and resistance training) groups. Others 2 groups of animals received isonitrogen AIN-93M diet that was defined as a control diet: group D (diabetic untreated) and group C (non-diabetic).Results. The decrease in serum total cholesterol and increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was observed in the resistance training-induced diabetic rats when compared with diabetic rats. There was no change in serum lipid profile in leucine-supplemented diabetic rats and no synergistic effect of leucine and resistance training. The fasting glucose levels were reduced in all animals treated compared to D group.Conclusion. The diabetic trained rats demonstrate a protective effect of resistance training on the serum lipid profile.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of Vernonia amygdalina supplementation on Vigna subterrenea (bambara groundnut) pudding on serum lipid profile and electrolyte levels in Wistar rats. Materials and Methods: Twenty five weanling rats were randomly selected into 5 groups of 5 rats each. Group 1 received normal rat pellet. Groups 2 and 3 received 10% and 5% (w/w) non supplemented bambara pudding, respectively. Groups 4 and 5 were fed with 10% and 5% (w/w) Vernonia supplemented bambara pudding, respectively, for 21 days. The animals were sacrificed using anaesthesia at the end of the experiment and blood sample collected for serum lipid profile and serum electrolyte determinations using standard methods. Results: There was a significant increase (p<0.05) in total cholesterol level in groups 2 (1.64 ± 0.01 mmol/L) and 4 (1.66 ± 0.01 mmol/L) compared to normal control (1.31 ± 0.02 mmol/L). Triacylglycerol level increased significantly in groups 2, 3, and 4 compared to normal control. The high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and Serum sodium level were significantly increased (p < 0.05) in group 2 and 4 respectively compared to the normal control. Potassium, chloride, bicarbonate and calcium levels showed significant increases in group 2 relative to normal control. Phosphate level decreased significantly in group 2 (1.37 ± 0.03 mmol/L), 3 (1.43 ± 0.03 mmol/L) and 5 (1.37 ± 0.03 mmol/L) when compared to normal control (1.75 ± 0.03 mmol/L) respectively. Conclusion: Consumption of bambara groundnut pudding supplemented with Vernonia leaves increases HDL-c level as well as supply appreciable amounts of electrolytes in the body.

Beneficial Effects

feeding trial to study the supplementation effect of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) cocktail and wormwood herb on serum lipid profile was conducted for 90 days in twenty crossbred lambs that were divided into four equal groups viz. T0 (Control) and T1, T2 and T3 (treatment groups). T0 received total mixed diet (TMR) without any supplementation, while in treatments groups TMR was supplemented either with EFE cocktail alone @ 0.60% (T1) or wormwood herb alone @ 4.50% (T2) and in a combination of the two feed additives (T3). At the end of the feeding trial, 6 days of digestibility trial was carried out to assess the supplementation effect in vivo on nutritional parameters and serum total lipids and different lipoprotein fractions were carried out at the start (0 d) and subsequently at monthly intervals of the experiment (30, 60 and 90 d). Nutrient digestibility, content as well intake were significantly higher in groups fed diets supplemented with the feed additives either alone (p less than 0.05) or in-combination (p less than 0.01). No significant effect was observed on the total cholesterol level at any point of evaluation, and on total triglycerides level-up to 30 d, but significant reduction was noted in T2 at 60 (p less than 0.05) and 90 (p less than 0.01) days as compared to T1. Significant (p less than 0.01) effect on HDL level was evident as elevated in T2 while reduced in T1 at day 60 and 90. In contrast, LDL values were reduced in T2 and elevated in T1 group at day 30 (p less than 0.05), 60 and 90 (p less than 0.01). VLDL levels did not change among the groups up to 30 d, whereas reduced at day 60 (p less than 0.05) and 90 (p less than 0.01) in T2 as compared to T1. Lowest (p less than 0.01) AI value was observed in the T2 group at day 90 compared to other groups. It was concluded that dietary incorporation of wormwood herb as a feed additive for sheep improved nutritional status along with health beneficial effects when supplemented alone.

The present study was designed to evaluate the association of lipid profile in pre- eclampsia and eclampsia. This case-control study was carried out in the department of biochemistry, M.A.G. Osmani Medical College, Sylhet, during July 2005 to June 2006. Total 100 study subjects were evaluated, 40 normotensive pregnant women (mean age 24.90 ± 4.04) as normal and 60 already diagnosed preeclamptic & eclamptic women (mean age 24.17 ± 4.90) as study group. Age range was 15-45 years, gestational age 24 weeks to term were included. Patients with pre-existing hypertension were excluded. Serum lipid profile (total lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and LDLcholesterol) of hundred women with Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia (n=60), normotensive women (n=40) were monitored. The preeclampsia was associated with a significant rise in triglyceride (225.6 ± 28.93 vs 165.6 ± 17.22) and fall in HDL cholesterol concentration (42.4 ± 9.29 vs 55.7 ± 7.11), while eclamptic women showed significant fall in HDL cholesterol (41.8 ± 8.79 vs 55.7 ± 7.11) and rise in LDL cholesterol (133.4 ± 11.75 vs 115.2 ± 10.72) as compared to normal pregnant women. Lipid metabolism plays a key role in the pathophysiology of Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia. Increased triglycerides levels along with decreased HDL-cholesterol levels and delayed triglycerides clearance and high blood pressure are associated with development of preeclampsia and eclampsia. This association may be significant in understanding the pathologic processes of preeclampsia and may help in developing strategies for prevention or early diagnosis of the disorder.

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.

Paraoxonase Activity

AbstractRecent studies implied that low-density lipoprotein (LDL) modified predominantly by oxidation or glycation, significantly contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. In contrast to oxidized LDL (ox-LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is able to prevent accumulation of ox-LDL in arterial walls. This antiatherogenic property of HDL is attributed in part to several enzymes associated with the lipoprotein, including HDL-associated paraoxonase 1 (PON1). In this study we analyzed PON1 arylesterase/paraoxonase activities in relation to serum lipid profile, gender and age in thirty clinically healthy Slovak volunteers. Our results showed that PON1 arylesterase and paraoxonase activities were lower in citrated plasma than in serum by 16.6% and 27.3%, respectively. Among serum lipoproteins, only HDL-cholesterol level showed significant positive correlation with PON1 arylesterase activity (p = 0.042). Likewise, we found a significant relationship between atherogenic index (AI = total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol) and PON1 arylesterase activity (p = 0.023). No significant correlation could be demonstrated between PON1 paraoxonase activity and serum lipid profile, age or gender. Furthermore, it was found that PON1 paraoxonase/arylesterase activities were higher in women compared with both investigated activities in men, but these differences were not statistically significant. These results confirmed a positive correlation between HDL-cholesterol and PON1 arylesterase activity. Moreover, it was found out that PON1 paraoxonase activity is not influenced either by gender or by age. PON1 arylesterase activity was however affected by gender to a limited extent.
