apoptosisdifferentiationradical-scavenging activityMastic is a resinous exudate obtained from the stem and the main leaves of Pistacia lentiscus. We have reported the antiplaque effect of mastic-containing chewing gum on the oral cavity. We hypothesize that mastic may be a multifunctional food which ...
LDL cholesterol levels by about 12% compared with placebo (P< 0.001). This finding was similar to the 14% reduction that occurred with continuous HRT.78The effect of raloxifene on cardiovascular events was also examined in osteoporotic postmenopausal women from the MORE trial. In the study ...
What are the normal cholesterol levels for men and women? A cholesterol test generally determines 4 distinct numbers: Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Cholesterol being fat, it is not soluble in water. So it cannot circulate freely in the blood. But, the fact is that nature ...
While the median BMI in our study cohort was well within the normal range at 21.33 kg/m2, O’Malley’s study focused on women with at least one risk factor for GDM and the cohort had an overall obesity rate of 57.4%. The 3D plots (Fig. 2a-b and Supplementary Fig. 5a-c), which ...
The association of low plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration with elevated cardiovascular disease risk is firmly established in men and women over a wide age range, across several cardiometabolic disease states, including type 2 diabetes, and in many populations and ethnic ...
In both populations, among those with prediabetes, increasing glycaemia is associated with an adverse, significant decline in HDL cholesterol, specifically in women. These adverse effects are apparent in widely-differing international populations.
In women with T1D, it has been demonstrated that very high HDL choles- terol levels greater than 80 mg/dL are positively associ- ated with incident atherosclerotic CVD [40]. HDL is able to promote cell-derived cholesterol efflux, and has anti- oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-...

The importance of these receptors was shown by knocking out LXRα and β, which caused a 26% reduction of HDL-C, a 83% increase of LDL-C, and a 27-fold accumulation of cholesterol in arterial wall macrophages in mice on a normal chow diet (although aortic lesions did not progress to ...
