Serum triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-C and LDL-C levels as well as the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio were determined in 11 patients suffering from hyperthyroidism and 7 patients suffering from hypothyroidism, and compared with those of 19 sex-and age-matched controls. In hypothyroidism a net increase of all lipid values was observed. In hyperthyroidism cholesterol and LDL-C values were reduced while those of the triglycerides and HDL-C were unchanged as compared with controls. The LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio in either group of patients was lower than in controls, the lowest being observed in thyrotoxicosis.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the most prevalent causes of mortality worldwide, especially significant in low- and middle-income countries. Kyrgyzstan and India represent such nations that face a huge burden of CVD-related deaths globally. Understanding the prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) in these populations is critical for effective prevention and management strategies.

Background: Diabetic population are at an increased risk of developing dyslipidemia and other cardiovascular complications. The study was performed to evaluate the lipid profile parameter in the diabetic population among the ethnic tribal community of Tripura and calculate the risk of cardiovascular events. The tribal community was chosen as the study population because their lifestyle, food habits, culture and housing practices are different from people living on the plains.

- The study focuses on understanding how different types of exercise and metformin impact vascular health in diabetic rats, particularly looking at oxidative stress and inflammation.
- The research involved inducing diabetes in rats and subjecting them to various treatments, revealing that all treatments improved crucial biochemical markers related to diabetes.
- Notably, combining exercise with metformin showed greater benefits, especially with interval training, suggesting a dual approach could enhance therapy for diabetes-related cardiovascular issues.
Effect of Furocyst on Lipid Profile and Insulin Resistance Across Different Categories of Body Mass Index in Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).

Centre for Advanced Research, King George's Medical University, Lucknow, IND.
Introduction Insulin resistance is a fundamental factor in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and has been found to mediate a close association with obesity and dyslipidemia. While the anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties of fenugreek seed extracts have been demonstrated, research on its anti-hyperlipidemic properties is still in its novice stage, with inconclusive evidence. The present study assessed the impact of fenugreek seed extracts rich in furostanolic saponins (Furocyst) on lipid profiles across different categories of body mass index (BMI) in women with PCOS.

Background/objectives: Atherogenic risk is related to lipid metabolism imbalance and the likelihood of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to determine predictive models based on physiological parameters, family history, and lifestyle for atherogenic risk, assessed by indicators such as total cholesterol (TC)/HDL, triglycerides/HDL, LDL/HDL, and non-HDL cholesterol in citizens of the city of Trujillo (Peru).
Methods: A total of 267 people, recruited from September to December 2023, participated in the study.
