essential hypertension/triglyceride

The levels of plasma cortisol, blood glucose, serum triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were estimated in 175 human subjects (50 normal controls, 65 having essential hypertension and 60 suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The results showed a significant elevation in the levels of plasma

OBJECTIVE Essential hypertension may be associated with abnormalities in free fatty acids (FFA) and triglyceride metabolism, which could lead to alterations in high density lipoproteins (HDL). Lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) are key factors

The fatty acid pattern of serum triglycerides and FFA in normal untrained subjects, normotensive athletes, patients with labile and stable essential hypertension as well as in hypertensives with overweight and mild hypertriglyceridemia has been evaluated by gas liquid chromatography. The most

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and postprandial abnormal metabolism of serum triglyceride-rich lipoprotein in essential hypertension (EH). METHODS In 44 patients with EH and 22 normal subjects (NS). Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol,

The influence of hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) treatment on the plasma levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) was studied in 10 patients with essential hypertension. After a placebo period of 4 weeks, 50 mg HCT twice daily was given for a

BACKGROUND Many epidemiological studies have established the relationship between hypertension and dyslipidemia. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are one of the first-line drugs for newly diagnosed patients with essential hypertension. Cilnidipine as a newer CCB acting by blocking both L- and N-type

The aim of the study is to investigate serum lipoproteins abnormalities including low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size, and their relationship with other cardiovascular risk factors in men with essential hypertension. Plasma glucose and serum insulin levels during oral glucose tolerance test

Placenta lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity as well as serum VLDL and placenta lipids composition were determined in pregnant hypertensive women at term. 46 patients aged from 29 +/- 2 years with gravidic hypertension (HTA-G) and 38 patients with essential hypertension (HTA-E) aged 30 +/- 1 years

Increased arterial stiffness has been shown to predict cardiovascular mortality in patients with primary hypertension. Asymptomatic organ damage is known to precede cardiovascular events. We investigated the relationship between a recently proposed index of stiffness derived from ambulatory blood

OBJECTIVE The main aim of the study was to answer two questions: what are the concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, apo A-I (apolipoprotein A-I), apo B (apolipoprotein B) and Lp(a) (lipoprotein(a)) in serum of patients with primary hypertension and

Glucose tolerance tests and diurnal profiles of glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, serum triglycerides, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were performed in 8 male patients with mild essential hypertension as well as in 20 normotensive subjects. Although glucose tolerance and
