Objective: Obesity promotes the development of diseases in many organ systems. The relationship between lipoporotein (a), lipid parameters and insulin resistance which accompany obesity has not been clarified. The correction of dyslipidemia in obesity and insulin resistance is...
Objective: Subclinical and cli nical hypothyroidism are relatively common endocrine disorders in the general population. Subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as an elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level associated with normal total or free T4 (fT4) and T3...
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of repeat lipoprotein(a) testing, determine whether repeated measurements changed risk classification, assess the clinical significance of observed changes using the reference change value, and investigate whether the...
Objective: In this study in which the purpose was to investigate the effect of hemodialysis treatment on cardiac markers and trace elements, serum copper, zinc, homocysteine and lipoprotein (a) levels and ceruloplasmin oxidase and adenosine deaminase activities and compared...
Aim: To investigate the presence of oxidative stress and dyslipidemia, which increase cardiovascular risk, and the effect of gonadotropin replacement therapy on these parameters in patients with Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (IHH).
Material and...
Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaulate serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and neopterin levels with lipoprotein phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) activity in obese adolescents with or without insulin resistance, and to demonstrate their relationships with...
Objective: The prevalence of coronary artery disease is much higher in men than in women and sex hormones might play a role in these differences via their influence on lipid profile. However, the role of sex hormones in the relationship between male gender and cardiovascular...
Objective: Serum paraoxonase (PON1) is a HDL associated esterase and inhibits LDL oxidation. The oxidative modification of LDL plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In hemodialysis patients, the increased oxidative stress induces oxidative...
Objective: It has been known that levels of GGT might be important, in coronary artery disease for long-term risk assessment and determining prognosis. Relationship between coronary artery disease and levels of GGT was found whereas relationship severity of coronary artery...
Objective: Levels of C-reactive protein might be important, in coronary artery disease regarding long-term risk assessment and prognosis. It has been showed that coronary artery disease is associated with high levels of C-reactive protein whereas the relationship between...
Objective: Smoking is one of the most important cause of cardiovascular disease and known as a preventable risk factor. Lipoproteins especially LDL has an important role in cardiovascular disease. Normally high density lipoproteins protect LDL from oxidation; proinflammatory...
Objective: The synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) which is claimed to cause early mortal damage during the first moments of coronary reperfusion, is reported to be induced in-vitro by oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL). The in- vivo changes in MMP-1, it's...
Objective: Stroke, in all over the world, the one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality especially in the geriatric population. Oxidative stress has an important role in pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is an important parameter of...
