Non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is a fraction that can be easily calculated from a traditional lipid panel. The value is strongly associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Over the years, LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) has been the most commonly used lipid variable to predict risk (1)...
Serum levels of Cholesterol, HDL-C, and triglyceride were measured using by direct enzymatic colorimetric method, LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald formula.10 The cut-off values that were used as reference for cholesterol was TC < 200 mg/dL, TG < 150 mg/dL, and HDL-C > 40 mg/...

Our analysis showed that HCV infection was an independent determinant of progression of aortic stiffening, in addition to the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and ABPI; however, at this stage, it is not clear how HCV infection promotes aortic stiffening. Further studies are necessary to investigate the ...
Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) is produced by the liver, contains ApoB100, and is metabolized into its remnants, intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). ApoB100 has been suggested to play a crucial role in the formation of the atherogenic plaque. Apart ...

By using a statistical analysis method that matched NAC users with nonusers for various factors such as age, the researchers calculated a 61% adjusted lower risk of developing HCC among people who used NAC compared with nonusers. Higher daily NAC dosages were associated with a 67% adjusted ...
When the price varied by region, we calculated the average cost. The costs of examinations and medical procedures were obtained from the table of procedures using the 2010–2011 NBHCS prices which determine the reimbursements to government-sponsored healthcare units. The price of insulin pumps and...
