hypercholesterolemia/obesity

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an imprecise, inappropriate monitor of atherosclerosis severity and by inapplicable extrapolation CHD risk factors are incorrectly assumed to be causes of atherosclerosis. Taking into account (1) the misuse and substantial diagnostic error of CHD, (2) errors in

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the trend in the prevalence in Spain of obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. METHODS The Spanish National Health Surveys (ENS) of 1997, 2001, 2003, which select representative samples of the Spanish general population were used. In total, 49,113

We retrospectively studied the incidence of diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and obesity in 123 consecutive adult liver transplant recipients (61 men and 62 women) who were alive at least 1 year after transplantation. We also studied the change in these metabolic complications in 61

OBJECTIVE ABCB11 is a canalicular transport protein that controls the rate-limiting step in hepatic bile acid secretion. Its expression levels vary in humans, and it is not clear how these variations affect lipid metabolism. We investigated whether overexpression of Abcb11 in mice increases lipid

OBJECTIVE The Spanish province of Cádiz has some of the poorest socioeconomic conditions and the highest cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rates in the country. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the adult population of the city of Sanlúcar

Insulin-induced gene 2 (insig-2) protein is known to play important roles in cholesterol and TAG metabolism both in vivo and in vitro. One particularly interesting single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs7566605, located 10 kb upstream of INSIG2 was reported to have the strongest association with

Ultrasonographic measurements of the intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid arteries (CCA) were taken in 50 patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) and 57 patients with non-familial hypercholesterolemia (NFH). The lipid profile, body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) of

UNASSIGNED The investigation of risk factors of cardiovascular disease (e.g., major endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases) across job sectors is useful for targeted public health intervention. This study examined the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypercholesterolemia and

The TALLYHO (TH) mouse presents a metabolic syndrome of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Highly significant quantitative trait loci (QTLs) linked to adiposity and hypercholesterolemia were previously identified on chromosome (Chr) 1 in a genome-wide scan of F2 mice from C57BL/6J (B6) x

We determine the prevalence and determinants of clustering of hypertension, abnormal glucose tolerance, hypercholesterolaemia and overweight in Malaysia. A national probability sample of 17,392 individuals aged 30 years or older had usable data. 61% of adults had at least one risk factor, 27% had 2

BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Cross-sectional data suggest that hypercholesterolemia is associated with the development of childhood obesity. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess age-related changes in relative weight and the association between

Pomegranate extracts have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to confer health benefits in a number of inflammatory diseases, microbial infections and cancer. Peel fruit are rich in polyphenols that exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities in vitro. Recent studies strongly

Increases in obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes may be under way in Europe. We have reported the only data available from the 1990s for continuous monitoring of chronic disease risk factors in random samples of a general European population. In random surveys (1993-2003) of 6164 men and

OBJECTIVE To study effects of fosinopril on a 24-h profile of blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients with obesity and hypercholesterolemia. METHODS A randomized comparative trial enrolled 96 patients aged 30-50 years with arterial hypertension (AH) of the first and second degree. The patients

Screening only those with a positive family history misses many children with hypercholesterolemia. This study investigated whether sensitivity improved by adding obesity as a criterion when screening children for cholesterol. During a two-year period screenings were conducted on 506 inner-city
