Dioscorea alata(DA) tuber has potential to prevent the condition of hyperlipidemia due to the bioactive compound, such as anthocyanins, diosgenin, and dietary fiber that beneficial in normalizing blood lipid profiles. In this research, the effect of water extract and flour of DA tuber administration was examined on rabbits treated with high cholesterol diets. DA tuber extract and flour were …
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea has been known as one of risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim ofthis study is to examine the relation of oxygen desaturation index (ODI) due to OSA and CAD. Methods: This study included 74 OSA men who were diagnosis of CAD by previous medical examination using treadmill and CT angiography and cardiac catheterization. Polysomnography was pe…
Introduction: Coronary calcification is a subclinical condition that may cause coronary artery disease (CAD). The main issue of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the intermitten hypoxemia which is an important stimulus to increase morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular disease. In this study we investigate the male OSA patients with abnormal calcium score (Ca score) to predict CAD. Methods:…
Aim to assess the differences between Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP), ratio of oxidized-Low Density Lipoprotein (Ox-LDL)/High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and ratio of Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2)/HDL in predicting the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with controlled and uncontrolled type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Methods The study was done observationally…
The reduction of lipid in the body can decrease the amount of Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol and enhance the amount of ʵDensity Lipoprotein whith can reduce the risk of etherosclerosis. Medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) can reduce the amount of lipid in the body. Virgin conconut oil contains faty acid (92%), cominated by lauric acid (53%) which in structured as MCFA. This experiment aimed to…
