Serum lipid profile and clinical characteristics of patients with xanthelasma palpebrarum

An. bras. dermatol; 91 (4), 2016
Abstract: Background: Although many factors are involved in the etiology of xanthelasma palpebrum, lipid disorder is strongly associated with its induction. Xanthelasma palpebrum, the most common type of xanthoma, usually presents in middle-aged females and results in aesthetic problems. Objective: To ...

Metabolic risk in schoolchildren is associated with low levels of cardiorespiratory fitness, obesity, and parents’ nutritional profile>

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 92 (4), 2016
Abstract Objective Verify the association between metabolic risk profile in students with different levels of cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index, as well as the nutritional status of their parents. Methods A cross-sectional study comprising 1.254 schoolchildren aged between seven and 17 year...

Physical Activity and Lipid Profile in the ELSA- Brasil Study

Arq. bras. cardiol; 107 (1), 2016
Abstract Background: Regular physical activity (PA) induces desirable changes in plasma levels of high- and low-density lipoproteins (HDL and LDL, respectively) and triglycerides (TG), important risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases. However, doubts whether intensity and duration have equivalent ben...

The effect of red grape seed extract on serum paraoxonase activity in patients with mild to moderate hyperlipidemia

Säo Paulo med. j; 134 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Red grape seed extract (RGSE) contains oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes as a class of flavonoids. These compounds are potent antioxidants and exert many health-promoting effects. This study aimed to determine the effects of RGSE on serum levels of triglycerides (TG...

Cintura Hipertrigliceridêmica em Pacientes Hipertensos

Fundamentos: O uso de diferentes critérios para a determinação da cintura hipertrigliceridêmica (CHT) pode resultar em interpretações imprecisas, podendo comprometer o diagnóstico de pacientes com risco de desenvolver doenças cardiovasculares. Objetivo: Avaliar a concordância no diagnóstico da ...

Interaction of lipoprotein lipase polymorphisms with body mass index and birth weight to modulate lipid profiles in children and adolescents: the CASPIAN-III Study

Säo Paulo med. j; 134 (2), 2016
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Interactions between body mass index (BMI), birth weight and risk parameters may contribute to diseases rather than the individual effects of each factor. However this hypothesis needs to be confirmed. This study aimed to determine to what extent variants of lipoprotein lipase (LP...

PEG-asparaginase induced severe hypertriglyceridemia

Asparaginase (ASP) is an effective chemotherapy agent extensively used in children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). There has been a recent interest in using ASP in adults with ALL, particularly the less toxic pegylated (PEG) formulation. Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a rare complication of PEG-ASP...

Aerobic Training after Myocardial Infarction: Remodeling Evaluated by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

Arq. bras. cardiol; 106 (4), 2016
Abstract Background: Numerous studies show the benefits of exercise training after myocardial infarction (MI). Nevertheless, the effects on function and remodeling are still controversial. Objectives: To evaluate, in patients after (MI), the effects of aerobic exercise of moderate intensity on ventricu...

Low vaspin levels are related to endothelial dysfunction in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (7), 2016
Vaspin is a novel adipocytokine associated with glucose tolerance and chronic inflammation. Some studies reveal that vaspin may be involved in cardiovascular diseases. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between serum vaspin levels and endothelial function in patients with ankylosing spondy...
