Changes in cholesterol and triglyceride levels after prescribing a lipid-lowering diet were assessed in 230 HIV-infected patients with dyslipemia associated with antiretroviral therapy. Lipid levels decreased significantly in subjects having good diet compliance. The reduction in triglyceride levels was greater than in cholesterol levels. Patients on protease inhibitor-containing regimens experienced a slightly greater decline in lipid levels compared with the rest.

Background: The association between serum uric acid (SUA) and dyslipidaemia is still unclear in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to examine the association between SUA and dyslipidaemia and to explore whether there is an optimal SUA level corresponding to the lower risk of suffering from dyslipidaemia.

Research Design And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1036 inpatients with T2DM and the clinical data were extracted from the hospital medical records.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of postoperative pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy on fat digestion and absorption in patients following initial total pancreatectomy.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from patients who underwent initial total pancreatectomy at our department between 2012 and 2020. Fat digestion, absorption functions, serum nutritional markers, HbA1c levels, and hepatic steatosis before and after the initial total pancreatectomy were evaluated.

Gestational diabetes is marked impaired glucose tolerance, poses various adverse outcomes including increased BMI and obesity. These outcomes results from excess lipid accumulation which is marked by elevated triglycerides. In GDM, placenta exhibits altered lipid metabolism, including reduced fatty acid oxidation and increased triglyceride accumulation.

Background: The potential therapeutic role of magnesium (Mg) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains insufficiently studied despite its known involvement in critical processes like lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity. This study examines the impact of Mg-focused nutritional education on lipid profile parameters, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in T2DM patients.

Methods: Thirty participants with T2DM were recruited for this within-subject experimental study.
