Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVitamin C Alleviates Chronic Chlorpyrifos Induced Alterations in Serum Lipids and Oxidative Parameters in Male Wistar RatsS. F. Ambali, M. Shittu, J. O. Ayo et al.Problem statement: Although the increase incidence of cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes mellitus has been attributed to changing life style, the role of environmental contaminants is currently being given considerable attention. Pesticides, including Organophosphate (OP) insecticides are one of the most pervasive environmental contaminants that are deliberately released into the environment. Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a widely used OP insecticide has been … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2012 · 7,576 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomarkers of Oxidative DNA Damage and Soluble Fas/Fas Ligand in Type 2 Diabetic PatientsMohamed H. Mahfouz, Ibrahim A. Emara, Ghada A. OmarProblem statement: Involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications has been proposed. 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) has been reported to serve as a new sensitive biomarker of the oxidative DNA damage in vivo. Apoptosis via Fas/Fas Ligand (FasL) interactions has been proposed to be a major T-cell-mediated effector mechanism in autoimmune diabetes. This study was undertaken to investigate whether … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 3 Feb 2012 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Inclusion of Probiotics, Prebiotics and Synbiotic and Evaluating Performance of Laying HensMohammad Zarei, Mohammad Ehsani, Mehran TorkiProblem Statement: This study was conduct to compare effects of various commercial feed additives on performance of laying hens. Approach: To evaluate effects of dietary inclusion of feed additives (Yeasturer, A-Max, Thepax, Fermacto and Biomin) on performance of laying hens, 216 Lohmann LSL-Lite hens were divided in 36 cages (n = 6). Approach Hens in 6 cages (replicates) were assigned … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 9,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHypolipidemic Effects of Coenzyme Q10 in Experimentally Induced Hypercholesterolemic Model in Female RatsAtef M. Al-AttarProblem statement: Hyperlipidemia is well known to play a main role in the development of atherosclerosis. It is characterized by abnormally elevated cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the blood. It has been recognized for many years that hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infraction, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 45,646 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Antioxidant Vitamins C and E Supplementation on its Plasma Levels and on Lipid Profile in Pulmonary Tuberculosis PatientsM. Madhavi, P. Samudram, A. Hemanth Kumar, Lalitha VictorProblem statement: Patients with active pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) are malnourished as indicated by reductions in lean mass, anthropometric indices and micronutrient status. Supplementation with vitamins may prove to be beneficial. Limited information is available on the supplementation of vitamin C and E in pulmonary TB patients. Hence, the present study was undertaken to address the question whether any benefit could … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRamadan Fasting Diet Entailed a Lipid Metabolic Disorder Among Type 2 Diabetic Obese WomenMéghit Boumédiène Khaled, Slimane BelbraouetWe designed this study to assess the effect of diet during Ramadan fasting on body weight and on serum lipid components in type 2 diabetic obese women. During Ramadan of 2005, 89 diabetic women receiving oral treatment (BMI = 33.20±3.01 kg m-2), aged 52 (±5 years), were selected. The study was carried out over 3 periods-, before (T1: pre-fasting), during … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,861 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Lipid-Lowering Efficacy of Switching Within Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in HIV-Infected PatientsA.M. Bain, K.D. Payne, A.P. Rahman et al.The objective of present research is to evaluate the lipid lowering efficacy and safety of switching within non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) in HIV-infected patients. This is a multicenter, retrospective study utilizing a comprehensive electronic patient registry to identify all adult HIV-infected patients seen from October 1, 1998 through October 1, 2006, who substituted efavirenz for nevirapine (EFV→NVP) or vice-versa … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy of Pravastatin in Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI) and Protease Inhibitor (PI)-based HAART in HIV-Infected PatientsSusan A. Eaton, Anita P. Rahman, Sean T. Nguyen et al.Pravastatin has generally been considered a safe and effective option for HIV-infected patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). However, pravastatin concentrations are known to significantly decrease with concomitant efavirenz (EFV) use. Currently there are no studies determining if these reductions in pravastatin possibly translate into an attenuation of its lipid lowering efficacy when used in HIV-infected patients on non-nucleoside … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,959 accessesView PDFCite
