Leisure time physical activity is associated with improved HDL functionality in high cardiovascular risk individuals: a cohort study.

European journal of preventive cardiology
AIMS: Physical activity has consistently been shown to improve cardiovascular health and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels. However, only small and heterogeneous studies have investigated the effect of exercise on high-density lipoprotein f...

Disability in multiple sclerosis is associated with age and inflammatory, metabolic and oxidative/nitrosative stress biomarkers: results of multivariate and machine learning procedures.

Metabolic brain disease
The aim of this study was to evaluate the immune-inflammatory, metabolic, and nitro-oxidative stress (IM&NO) biomarkers as predictors of disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. A total of 122 patients with MS were included; their disability w...

Modelling disease risk for amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis in non-human primates using machine learning.

Amyloid : the international journal of experimental and clinical investigation : the official journal of the International Society of Amyloidosis
Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is found in humans and non-human primates, but quantifying disease risk prior to clinical symptoms is challenging. We applied machine learning to identify the best predictors of amyloidosis in rhesus macaques from availabl...

High triglycerides to HDL-cholesterol ratio is associated with insulin resistance in normal-weight healthy adults.

Diabetes & metabolic syndrome
AIM: To evaluate the association between high triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and insulin resistance (IR) or hyperinsulinemia after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in normal-weight healthy adults.

Effect of daily intake of a low-alcohol orange beverage on cardiovascular risk factors in hypercholesterolemic humans.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Oxidative stress, inflammation status, endothelial dysfunction, and imbalanced lipid metabolism play a major role in cardiovascular disease. Bioactive compounds and moderate alcohol consumption have been associated with decreased cardiovascular risk....

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 is associated with the metabolism and development of advanced colonic polyps.

Translational research : the journal of laboratory and clinical medicine
Implications of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in colonic polyps remain elusive. A prospective study was conducted with 188 consecutive subjects who underwent colonoscopy at a tertiary referral center. Biochemical parameters, serum PAI-1 l...

Lipid Metabolism in Patients with Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis.

Neuroimmunomodulation
OBJECTIVE: Lipid metabolism has been implicated in autoimmune disorders, but its relationship with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is unclear. This study examined the association of serum lipids with anti-NMDAR encephalit...

A case of apolipoprotein A-I deficiency due to carboxyl-terminal truncation.

Journal of clinical lipidology
Apolipoprotein A-I deficiency is a rare metabolic disease characterized by an impaired reverse cholesterol transport system resulting in excessive cholesterol accumulation. Here, we discuss a case of apolipoprotein A-I deficiency caused by a carboxyl...

Apolipoprotein A-I: A favorable prognostic marker in infective endocarditis.

Journal of clinical lipidology
BACKGROUND: Decreased apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are common in inflammation and sepsis. No study with a large sample size has been performed to investigate the prognostic value of apoA-I or HDL-C in i...

Melatonin administration lowers biomarkers of oxidative stress and cardio-metabolic risk in type 2 diabetic patients with coronary heart disease: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Melatonin may benefit diabetic people with coronary heart disease (CHD) through its beneficial effects on biomarkers of oxidative stress and cardio-metabolic risk. This investigation evaluated the effects of melatonin administratio...
