Mustard kimchi consumption reduces cholesterol levels in rats. To identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in kimchi which exert this effect, 20 LAB isolates were evaluated for cholesterol reduction in an in vitro screen. The FB111 strain showed the highe...
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...

OBJECTIVE: Increasing evidence has suggested a protective role of vitamin D on metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, studies addressing this issue are limited in Asia and it remains unclear whether calcium could modify the association. We examined the ...
Elevated values of the non-HDL/HDL cholesterol ratio (NHHR) have been associated with increased hypertension risk, indicating its potential as a pathogenic factor, but its assessment remains challenging. We analyzed data from 22,562 hypertensive part...
BACKGROUND: Traditional statistical methods have dominated research on peripartum depression (PPD), but innovative approaches may provide deeper insights. This study aims to predict the impact factors of PPD using elastic net regression (ENR) combine...
