alcoholism/triglyceride

Because of the high incidence for development of a secondary hyperlipemia during chronic alcohol intake, this study was performed to look for a possible reason, why some patients produce severe hyperlipemia and other ones not. 15 male patients with chronic alcoholism (group I) who produce under

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between alcohol dependence and oxidative status. The biochemical parameters and antioxidants status were measured among 28 patients with alcohol dependence. Nineteen healthy persons without drinking problem were recruited as the control subjects.

The translocator protein (TSPO) transports cholesterol into mitochondria and is involved in steroidogenesis. The TSPO polymorphism rs6971 influences binding of cholesterol and other TSPO ligands including positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging radiotracers. Although it is recognized that alcohol

In 100 consecutive male inpatients with alcohol dependence and an equal number of age, sex, occupation and regional background matched controls, the value ofgamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), mean

We carried out a study of 43 male asymptomatic subjects with high levels of uric acid but showing no signs of arterial hypertension, obesity or alcohol abuse. Initially, we investigated cholesterol levels, triglycerides in blood serum and the very low density lipoprotein fraction. The results showed

To assist the diagnosis of high risk alcohol consumption or alcohol dependence, particularly in the absence of evidences of recent alcohol intake (relapse), objective biochemical markers are today available, which, if used correctly, may reduce the degree of subjectivity that the adoption of merely

OBJECTIVE Prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in men and women who use alcohol has been inconsistent in the literature. The aim of this study is to compare the prevalence of MetS in patients with a diagnosis of alcohol dependence who are currently abstinent in a controlled environment, and in

Alcohol dependence represents a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Understanding the variables that contribute to this diagnosis and its severity is critical. An overlap between factors that may predispose people to become obese and those that may increase the risk of alcohol dependence may

Among adults, chronic alcohol dependence is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). While it is unlikely that adolescents with alcohol use disorders (AUDs) would exhibit CVD, they might show elevated CVD risk factors. The purpose of this study was to compare CVD risk factors in adolescents

A case of acute pancreatitis with hyperlipemia and hyperglycemia induced by alcohol abuse is reported. The case is a 34-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of severe abdominal pain. He had been drinking 700ml approximately 1400ml of whisky daily prior to admission. At the

In 93 alcohol dependent patients following laboratory tests were done: gamma-glutamic transpeptidase (GGTP), aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT), mean erythrocyte volume (MCV), triglycerides (TGL), and HDL-cholesterol to whole-cholesterol ratio (HDLC%). The psychometric evaluation was made by MAST

We report here a case of diabetic ketoacidosis associated with hyperlipidemia and acute pancreatitis following alcohol abuse. A 23-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of right upper abdominal and back pain developing into a state of unconsciousness and shock. He had been drinking 720

OBJECTIVE To explore the distribution characteristics of apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) gene c.553G > T polymorphism and the relationship of serum lipid in Chinese Han and Uighur populations in Xinjiang, China. METHODS The genotypes of ApoA5 gene c.553G > T polymorphism were detected in 406 Uighur and

The aim of the investigation was to estimate chosen parameters of fat balance and immunological reactivity in patients with virushepatitis and alcohol abuse (30 patients--I group), and without alcohol abuse in anamnesis (30 patients--II group). The investigations included the estimation of the
