Increased fat-free milk consumption improves weight loss, body composition, metabolic syndrome, and cardiometabolic outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus
… MD phase increased HDL (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) / LDL (low- density lipoprotein cholesterol) ratio and decreased total cholesterol, LDL-c, SBP and DBP, and LAP index. We conclude that the consumption of approximately 3 servings of fat-free milk (700 mg of additional Ca) decreased …

The effect of dairy consumption with exercise and healthy eating on the metabolic profile in overweight/obese adolescent girls
… program, on fasting serum lipids (total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c, triglycerides), insulin and glucose in overweight (OW) and obese (OB) adolescent girls. Twenty adolescents (10-18 years) were randomly assigned to two groups: recommended dairy (RDa, n=9) or low dairy (LDa, n=11). The RDa …

Evaluation of the in vivo anti-hyperlipidemic activity of the triterpene from the stem bark of Protorhus longifolia (Benrh.) Engl.
… by elevated levels of lipids (fats), including cholesterol and triacylglycerol, circulating in the blood. Hypercholesterolemia is well known as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as atherosclerosis. This suggests a need for the discovery of effective and safe …

Test model of a healthy lifestyle intervention program
… from baseline, the I group had a decreased LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) (126.67 +/- 4.0 mg/dl to 110.86 +/- 4.4 mg/dl p = 0.011), and average steps per day increased (5253 +/- 368 steps, 7149 +/- 400 steps, p = 0.01). No changes were noted in waist circumference (WC), or metabolic syndrome (MetS) …

Mining Genomic Variants And Causal Pathways Linking Hdl And Triglycerides To Coronary Disease
… support a causal role of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in increasing risk of CHD. Long-standing epidemiology suggests that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) may protect from disease while high triglycerides (TGs) increase CHD risk. However, the causality of HDL-C and TG to …
