Fasting LDLRandom LDLBackground: Hyperlipidemia is one of the major risk factors for cerebrovascular disease and it is common practice to obtain fasting lipid profile prior to starting lipid lowering therapy (LLT). Recent AHA Guidelines published in 2018 allow for a non-fasting value to be used....
Levels of cytokines, adipokines and lipid profile were measured. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) for this study was defined as prior diagnosis of heart attack, angina and stroke, while diabetes was defined by fasting blood glucose (FBG) of > 100 mg/dL and HbA1c of > 6.5, in ...
During the analysis process, we used an automatic sample injector (10 °C) and continuous sample analysis using random order was performed to correct the impact of instrument signal fluctuation. After the UHPLC separation, mass spectrometry was performed using a Q-Exactive plus mass spectrometer ...
Fasting total cholesterol was determined by esterase-oxidase method (24). Serum HDL-C and triglyceride concentrations were measured by enzymatic procedures described in Harris et al. (25). LDL cholesterol was calculated by using the Friedewald equation if triglyceride levels were less than 400 mg/dl...
(TC), HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were determined via the enzymatic-colorimetric (CPO-POD) method via commercial kits according to the manufacturer’s instructions and using auto analyzers (Hitachi 917 (Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, Tokyo, Japan); and ...
We could not verify whether the tests were of fasting or non-fasting patients, but non-fasting lipid profiles are now recommended by international guidelines for TC, HDL-C and LDL-C (alternatively, non-HDL-C), and the differences in TG are likely too small to be meaningful on a ...
Baseline fasting lipid profiles and electrocardiograms (ECGs) were performed. Total cholesterol measurements and resting ECGs were also obtained at the 2-, 4-, and 6-year visits. At these same visits, a fasting lipid profile was obtained in random preselected samples of usual care (5%) and ...
Based on random assignment, subjects were instructed to consume at least 80% of their meat in the form of LRM or LWM. Fasting serum lipid levels were assessed 4, 12, 20, 28, and 36 weeks after randomization. Results After randomization, mean concentrations of total cholesterol (6.09 mmol/L...
In fact, the European Atherosclerosis Society and European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine recently issued a statement suggesting that fasting is not essential for determination of a lipid profile in relation to predicting cardiovascular disease and making decisions on treatment. ...
Four distinct meta-analyses were performed for each individual component of the lipid profile (TC, LDLc, HDLc, TG). Correlation coefficient (r) has been chosen as the effect estimate for the data synthesis. As the majority of studies reported univariate analyses for the outcome of interest, Pea...
