Persistent organic pollutants distribution in plasma lipoprotein fractions

Braz. j. biol; 83 (), 2023
Abstract This study determines the associations among serum lipid profiles, risk of cardiovascular disease, and persistent organic pollutants. Using Gas chromatography technique, the intensity of toxic pollutant residues in serum samples of Hypertensive patients were measured. Based on statistical analys...

Association of serum lipoproteins and inflammatory parameters derived from the blood test with renal function in COVID-19 outpatients

Abstract Changes in lipoprotein metabolism are among the main causes of hemodynamic impairment in renal function. COVID-19 is an multisystemic inflammatory disease, aggravating this situation. This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship of serum lipoprotein profile with inflammatory paramete...

Associations of blood biomarkers and structural changes in atherosclerosis in the Longitudinal study of adult heath (Elsa-Brasil): emphasis on pre-and postmenopausal women

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. Cardiovascular risk prediction is incomplete and new markers may help in the early identification of atherosclerosis. Brazilian epidemiological data in women are scarce. Objectives: To review the impact...
