Abstract: Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement of nutritional status by calculating the ratio of height and weight. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is more common in a person with a BMI of more than normal. In patients with T2DM, there is lipid metabolism disorder, dyslipidaemia. Changes in lipid profiles consist of increased levels of total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides, and decreased levels of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). This study aimed to obtain the correlation between body mass index and lipid profile in T2DM patients in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This was a descriptive analytical study using patients’ medical record in Endocrine Clinic Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from September to November 2015. The Pearson correlation test showed correlations between BMI and total cholesterol levels with r=0.037and p=0.763; between BMI and HDL levels with r=-0.249 and p=0.039; between BMI and LDL levels with r=0.091 and p=0,455; and between BMI and triglyceride levels with r=0.179 and p=0.142. Conclusion: Among T2DM patients, there were no significant correlations between body mass index and total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, as wello as triglyceride levels. However, there was a significant correlation between body mass index and HDL levels.

The purpose of this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of daun wungu extracts to decrease total cholesterol, LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) and HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol of ovariectomized mice. This research used 24 ovariectomized mice and 8 normal mice. The ovariectomized mice were grouped in 3 groups for K1 (the treatment with aquadest, 0.05 ml), K2 (the treatment with fish oil, 0.05 ml) and P (the treatment with daun wungu extracts, 0.5 mg in 0.05 ml fish oil). All treatments were done for 20 days. At the end of the treatments, the blood (0.5 ml) was taken from cardiac by tuberculin disposable syringe. And then with fotometry, serum total, LDL and HDL cholesterol were measured. The result of this research showed that daun wungu extracts (0.5 mg in 0.05 ml fish oil) could not decrease HDL cholesterol, but it could decrease total and LDL cholesterol of blood serum in ovariectomized mice.

Small Dense Low Density Lipoprotein (sdLDL) merupakan fraksi terkecil dari partikel Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) yang memilikidiameter ≤25,5 nm. Partikel sdLDL merupakan lipoprotein sangat aterogenik bahkan telah dilaporkan meningkatkan kebahayaanPenyakit Jantung Koroner (PJK) hingga tiga kali lipat. Pengukuran sdLDL dilakukan dengan alat dan teknik yang rumit sehinggakurang cocok diterapkan dalam praktek klinis sehari-hari. Tahun 2011, Srisawasdi dkk mengembangkan teknik pengukuran perkiraansdLDL-cholesterol (sdLDL-C) menggunakan persamaan dengan menghitung profil lipid rutin. Dilaporkan bahwa peningkatan kepekatantrigliserida (TG) menurunkan kenasaban perkiraan sdLDL-C Srisawasdi. Penurunan nilai kenasaban dapat mempengaruhi ketepatanyang mengakibatkan penurunan mutu pemeriksaan laboratorium. Diambil 88 sampel yang dilakukan pengukuran Total Cholesterol(TC), TG, high density lipoprotein-cholesetrol (HDL-C) dan direk low density lipoprotein-cholesetrol (dLDL-C) di RSUD Dr. Soetomo,sdLDL-C metode homogeneous enzymatic assay dilakukan di Laboratorium Parahita Dharmawangsa. Hasil analisis menunjukkan, tidakada perbedaan hasil periksaan sdLDL-C formula Srisawasdi dkk dengan metode homogeneous enzymatic assay (P=0,000). Penurunannilai kenasaban ditemukan di kelompok kepekatan TG <100 mg/dL sampai dengan kelompok kepekatan TG 200-299 mg/dL. Perbedaannilai kenasaban di setiap kelompok TG tidak mempengaruhi ketepatan pemeriksaan sdLDL-C formula Srisawasdi (P=0,720) hinggakepekatan TG <400 mg/dL, dengan nilai bias pada seluruh sampel yaitu 34,15%. Keterbatasan sdLDL-C formula Srisawasdi dkk hanyadapat digunakan di kepekatan TG kurang dari 200 mg/dL dengan pemantapan mutu intralaboratorium yang terkendali baik. Saranpenelitian, perlu diteliti lebih lanjut untuk menentukan nilai normal sdLDL-C formula Srisawasdi.

1. Increased blood or plasma viscosity has been observed in almost all conditions associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. Cognizant of the enlarging body of evidence implicating increased viscosity in atherogenesis, we hypothesize that the effects of low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein on blood viscosity correlate with their association with risk of atherosclerosis. 2. Blood viscometry was performed on samples from 28 healthy, non-fasting adult volunteers using a capillary viscometer. Data were correlated with haematocrit, fibrinogen, serum viscosity, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides and calculated low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. 3. Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was more strongly correlated with blood viscosity than was total cholesterol (r = 0.4149, P = 0.0281, compared with r = 0.2790, P = 0.1505). High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were inversely associated with blood viscosity (r = −0.4018, P = 0.0341). 4. To confirm these effects, viscometry was performed on erythrocytes, suspended in saline, which had been incubated in plasma of various low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratios. Viscosity correlated directly with low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio (n = 23, r = 0.8561, P < 0.01). 5. Low-density lipoprotein receptor occupancy data suggests that these effects on viscosity are mediated by erythrocyte aggregation. 6. These results demonstrate that the effects of low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein on blood viscosity in healthy subjects correlate with their association with risk of atherosclerosis. These effects on viscosity may play a role in atherogenesis by modulating the dwell or residence time of atherogenic particles in the vicinity of the endothelium.

The objectives of this study were to determine the serum activities of the pancreatic enzymes amylase, lipase, trypsinogen 1 and trypsinogen 2, serum concentrations of total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides and serum inflammatory indicators, namely C-reactive protein and procalcitonin, in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows with left displacement of the abomasum (LDA). A total of 60 cows (30 LDA-affected and 30 healthy) were included in the study. Laboratory analyses were performed using commercially available ELISA kits and chemical reagents according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. There was a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in the activities of lipase, trypsinogen 1 and trypsinogen 2 in LDA-affected cows compared to healthy cows. Amylase concentrations, however, remained unchanged. The serum concentrations of total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased in LDA-affected cows while the concentrations of low-density lipoprotein and triglycerides were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased compared to healthy cows. Procalcitonin and C-reactive protein concentrations were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased in LDA-affected cows compared to healthy cows. This study indicates that displacement of the abomasum may be associated with significant pathological effects in the pancreas that may affect cows in the post-operative period.

Abstract Biological variability is a major contributor to the inaccuracy of cardiovascular risk assessments based on measurement of lipids, lipoproteins, or apolipoproteins. We obtained estimates of biological variation (CVb) for 20 healthy adults and calculated the percentiles of CVb as an expression of the variability of CVb among individuals for cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, apo B, and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] by four biweekly measurements of these analytes. The CVb for the group was approximately 6-7% for cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, apo A-I, and apo B; approximately 9% for LDL cholesterol; and 28% for triglyceride. However, for each analyte, there was a considerable variation of CVb among individuals. For all analytes except Lp(a), there was no relation between the individual's CVb and the analyte concentration. Lp(a) was inversely related to CVb, and there was a very wide variation in the CVb for Lp(a) among the participants, ranging from 1% to 51%. The number of independent analyses to perform to accurately assess an individual's risk for coronary artery disease should be determined on the basis of the individual CVb for a given analyte rather than the average CVb.

Tea Benalu (Scurrula atropurpurea [Bl.] Dans.) and Mango Benalu (Dendrophthoe pentandra L. miq.) containssecondary metabolites with potential antioxidant potential. Antioxidants can inhibit the oxidation process and reduce Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and increase High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL). The safety of the preparations for the combination of parasites of tea and mango leaves was tested to obtain toxic effects after repeated treatment tests over some time. The purpose of this study was to determine the toxic effects of a combination of methanolic extracts of a combination of tea parasites and mangoes in female rats (Rattus norvegicus) subchronically for 28 days by looking at the results of the clinical biochemical examination on lipid profiles, namely total cholesterol levels, triglycerides, high-density lipoproteins (28%). HDL), and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL). The method of this study was experimental with a combination dose of methanol extract of tea parasite leaves and mango parasite leaves at a dose of 250 mg / KgBB, 500 mg / KgBB and 1000 mg / KgBB with 5x replications each treatment. The subjects used white rats (Rattus norvegicus) female Wistar strains aged 6-8 weeks with a minimum body weight of 100 grams. The treatment in this study was in the form of each dose given 5 times a week for 28 days (subchronic toxicity test) orally. Lipid profile levels were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test. The results showed that the level of control blood lipid profile with a treatment dose of 250 mg / KgBW, 500 mg / KgBW, and 1000 mg / KgBW was not significantly different. The toxicity test of combined extracts of tea leaves and mango parasite leaves of female rat Rattus novergicus on subchronic exposure 28 days with those doses showed no difference tangible between treatments of controls. This means it is safe and does not cause toxic properties in the lipid profile of female wistar rats.Keywords: Lipid Profile, Scurrula atropurpurea, Dendophthoe pentandra, Sub-Chronic Toxicity, Rattus norvegicus ABSTRAKBenalu Teh (Scurrula atropurpurea [Bl.] Dans.) dan  Benalu Mangga (Dendrophthoe pentandra L. miq.) mengandung metabolit sekunder berpotensi sebagai antioksidan.

Background: Hypercholesterolaemia is a major risk factor for systemic atherosclerosis and a well-known etiological factor for cardiovascular diseases and its complications which is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. In a recent study, the antihyperlipidemic activity of dried leaves extract of Alternanthera brasiliana has been evaluated. Hence, the present study was undertaken to investigate the anti-atherosclerotic potential of the methanolic extract of the leaves of Alternanthera brasiliana L. Kuntz (MEAB) in high fat diet induced hypercholesterolemic rat model.Methods: Thirty (30) wistar albino rats of either sex were randomly divided into five groups: first two groups received normal diet and high fat diet respectively and the remaining three groups received high fat diet supplemented with methanolic extract of Alternanthera brasiliana (MEAB) administered orally daily at two different doses: 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg and Atorvastatin 10 mg/kg/day orally as standard respectively. Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) was estimated after 12 weeks. Atherogenic index was calculated from the results of lipid profile. At the end, the aorta was removed for assessment of atherosclerotic plagues.Results: Our results showed that MEAB possessed significant cholesterol lowering potency as indicated by decrease in serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) accompanied by an increase in serum high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and reduces the atherosclerotic lesion of aorta (p <0.05).Conclusions: These results strongly suggests that MEAB can prevent the progress of atherosclerosis likely due to the effect of A. brasiliana on serum lipoproteins and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It could be a potential therapy for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.
