Moringa (Moringa oleifera) seeds contain good nutritional constituents and several components that can potentially reduce cholesterol levels, namely oleic acid, phytosterols, and dietary fiber. However, it tastes bitter, so it needs to be treated so that the bitter taste disappears but does not affect much of the content that can lower cholesterol. This study aims to get moringa seeds that are not bitter and have the potential to prevent hypercholesterolemia. The soaking treatment of peeled moringa seeds in either water or 3.5% NaCl salt, followed by 80 minutes of boiling, resulted in moringa flour with a very low bitter taste. The oleic acid content of the seed flour from soaking treatment with water or salt by boiling for 40 or 80 minutes is still high, in the range of 69–72%. Oleic acid is known to improve blood cholesterol profiles. The content of phytosterols, one of the cholesterol absorption inhibitors, from moringa flour treatment of 27–29 mg/100 g dw, is much higher than control flour (15 mg/100 g dw). The dietary fiber content of moringa seeds (total dietary fiber, soluble dietary fiber, insoluble dietary fiber) generally does not change after treatment. The results showed that soaking moringa seeds in water for 24 hours, followed by boiling for 80 minutes, produced moringa flour that can be used to develop hypercholesterolemia prevention foods.

Aim: Growth restriction in the fetal period may affect the development of metabolic diseases in later ages. In this study, it was aimed to compare the growth of the first two years of age and the glucose, insulin and lipid profiles in the second year of term newborn babies with and without fetal malnutrition. Materials and Methods: Term infants born in our hospital between May 2019 and October 2019, with and without fetal malnutrition detected using the CANSCORE method were included in the study. Insulin, glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, triglyceride values were measured in the umbilical cord blood. The growth of these babies was followed up to the age of two. At the end of the second year, the same parameters were looked at again. Results: 26 out of 40 babies with fetal malnutrition and 22 out of 40 babies without fetal malnutrition were followed for two years. It was observed that body weight, height and head circumference of babies with fetal malnutrition were higher at 6 months compared to babies without fetal malnutrition, but this difference regressed at 12 and 24 months. While there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol levels in the second year of life, VLDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels were found to be significantly higher in the group with fetal malnutrition. Conclusion: Rapid weight gain in the first 6 months of life in infants with fetal malnutrition may affect the lipid profile in early childhood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT. This study aimed to determine the effects of using black garlic (BG) instead of fresh garlic (FG) in the ration on the performances and quail blood cholesterol properties. Two hundred 3-week-old female quails were fed five experimental diets for 8 weeks. Each treatment was repeated four times with ten quails each. The treatment diets were: T0= commercial feed (CF) without FG and BG supplementation, T1= CF + 3% FG, T2= CF + 2% FG + 1% BG, T3= CF + 1% FG + 2% BG, and T4= CF + 3% BG. The parameters measured were feed consumption, egg production, egg weight, egg mass, feed conversion ratio, meat quality, and blood cholesterol properties. This study found no significant (P0.05) difference among treatment groups on feed conversion, egg weight, egg mass, total cholesterol, LDL, and HDL. Meat fat decreased significantly (P0.05) by increasing levels of dietary black garlic. A diet with black garlic supplementation significantly increased feed consumption, egg production, and meat protein (P0.05). It is concluded that substituting 100% garlic with black garlic in the diet could increase quail performance without adverse effects on blood cholesterol properties. (Pengaruh penggunaan bawang hitam sebagai pengganti bawang putih dalam ransum terhadap performa dan kadar kolesterol darah puyuh) ABSTRAK. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan bawang hitam (BG) sebagai pengganti bawang putih (FG) dalam ransum terhadap performa dan kolesterol darah puyuh. Dua ratus ekor puyuh betina berumur 3 minggu diberi pakan perlakuan selama 8 minggu dan diulang sebanyak empat kali. Setiap unit perlakuan terdiri dari sepuluh ekor puyuh. Pakan perlakuan adalah: T0= pakan komersial (CF) tanpa suplementasi FG dan BG, T1= CF + 3% FG, T2= CF + 2% FG + 1% BG, T3= CF + 1% FG + 2% BG, dan T4= CF + 3% BG. Parameter yang diukur adalah konsumsi pakan, produksi telur, berat telur, massa telur, rasio konversi pakan, kualitas daging, dan sifat kolesterol darah. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa tidak ada pengaruh yang nyata (P0,05) antar kelompok perlakuan terhadap konversi pakan, bobot telur, massa telur, kolesterol total, LDL, dan HDL. Lemak daging menurun secara signifikan (P0,05) dengan peningkatan kadar bawang hitam dalam ransum. Pakan yang disuplementasi dengan bawang hitam nyata meningkatkan konsumsi pakan, produksi telur, dan protein daging (P0,05). Disimpulkan bahwa penggantian 100% bawang putih dengan bawang hitam dalam pakan dapat meningkatkan performa puyuh tanpa memberikan efek negatif terhadap kolesterol darah.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship of sleep quality and insomnia with metabolic/anthropometric parameters in elderly individuals. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 474 elderly individuals. Their fasting blood glucose, haemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, cortisol, C-reactive protein, weight, waist circumference, waist-tohip ratio, skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass and body mass index were measured. Their sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and insomnia was assessed using the Insomnia Severity Index. Results: The mean age of the 474 elderly individuals included in the study was 71.02±4.90 years. Poor sleep quality prevalence was found to be 71.1% among the elderly participants and the prevalence of mild to moderate insomnia was 55.1%. The sleep quality score was positively correlated with the postprandial blood glucose level (r=0.121, p<0.01) and comorbidity index and negatively correlated with muscle mass (r=-0.203, p<0.001). Elderly individuals with poor sleep quality had higher postprandial blood glucose levels (p=0.032) and lower skeletal muscle mass levels (p<0.001). In the patients clinically diagnosed with insomnia, the postprandial blood glucose (p=0.019), haemoglobin A1c (p=0.040) and low-density lipoprotein levels were higher (p=0.034), while the muscle mass was lower (p<0.001). The factors that were found to increase the risk of insomnia were age (OR=1.06), being female (OR=2.08) and increased comorbidity burden (OR=1.32) and the factors that were found to increase the risk of poor sleep quality were being female (OR=2.43), lack of exercise (OR=1.95), poor diet (OR=1.85), age (OR=1.05) and increased comorbidity burden (OR=1.17). Conclusion: Poor sleep quality and insomnia in elderly individuals were found to be associated with high blood glucose levels and low muscle mass levels. Regular exercise and a diet can help reduce sleep problems in elderly individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Valproate is a common antiepileptic drug whose adverse effects include liver steatosis and dyslipidaemia. The aim of our study was to see how natural flavonoid antioxidant naringin would interact with valproate and attenuate these adverse effects. For this reason we treated male C57BL6 mice with a combination of 150 mg/kg of valproate and 25 mg/kg naringin every day for 10 days and compared their serum triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, VLDL, and liver PPAR-alpha, PGC-1 alpha, ACOX1, Nrf2, SOD, CAT, GSH, and histological signs of steatosis. Valproate increased lipid peroxidation parameters and caused pronounced microvesicular steatosis throughout the hepatic lobule in all acinar zones, but naringin co-administration limited steatosis to the lobule periphery. In addition, it nearly restored total serum cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides and liver ACOX1 and MDA to control levels. and upregulated PPAR-alpha and PGC-1 alpha, otherwise severely downregulated by valproate. It also increased SOD activity. All these findings suggest that naringin modulates key lipid metabolism regulators and should further be investigated in this model, either alone or combined with other lipid regulating drugs or molecules.

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major health problem in developed and developing countries. Until now, the death rate due to CHD is the highest in the world. Its risk factors include major modifiable risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking, and non-modifiable risk factors. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the major risk factors for the incidence of CHD. Methods: This study employed an unmatched case-control design, with a total sample of 43 cases and 86 controls recruited by a purposive sampling technique. Case samples were CHD patients diagnosed by a cardiologist and control samples were non-CHD patients who visited the cardiac polyclinic, with similar variables of age, sex, and residence. The samples were taken at the integrated heart center of Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, based on the patient medical records. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: The results showed three risk factors that statistically and significantly increased the incidence of CHD, namely history of total cholesterol of =240mg/dl with adjusted OR=4.64 (95% CI: 1.60-13.49), type-2 diabetes mellitus with adjusted OR=2.85 (95% CI: 1.16-6.99), and smoking with adjusted OR=2.54 (95% CI: 1.01-6.46). Conclusion: The history of high total cholesterol is statistically the most dominant risk factor for the incidence of CHD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present research was carried out to determine the effects of the addition of cardamom powder at different levels (0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 g/kg) to diet on performance, egg quality, and serum parameters in laying quails. In the experiment, a total of 120 laying quails at the age of 20 weeks were randomly distributed to 5 treatment groups with 6 subgroups (4 quails each). Quails were fed with experimental diets for 10 weeks. In the experiment, the feed intake of quails significantly increased with the supplementation of cardamom powder at the level of 3 g/kg to the diet, while other performance parameters were not affected. Eggshell thickness advanced with the addition of 1 g/kg cardamom powder to diet. Egg yolk L* value increased at the level of 4 g/kg, but a* value decreased with the addition of cardamom powder. Other egg quality parameters were not affected by the addition of cardamom powder to the diet. In addition, the supplementation of cardamom powder to the diet significantly reduced serum cholesterol levels of quails. According to the results obtained from the experiment, the addition of cardamom powder at the level of 3 g/kg to the diet increased the feed intake of quails, while the supplementation of 1 g/kg was effective in improving the eggshell quality and serum cholesterol level.

Penyakit jantung koroner merupakan penyebab kematian tertinggi di Indonesia setelah stroke dengan persentase sebesar 12,9%. Penyakit jantung koroner terjadi akibat penumpukan plak yang disebabkan oleh tingginya kadar kolesterol serta meningkatnya tekanan darah dalam jangka panjang. Dibutuhkan sistem yang dapat memantau kesehatan jantung secara berkala. Pada penelitian ini menyajikan sistem yang mampu melakukan deteksi dini penyakit jantung koroner yang terdiri dari kategori risiko rendah, sedang, dan tinggi berdasarkan tiga parameter yaitu kolesterol, tekanan darah, dan detak jantung. Pengukuran kolesterol dilakukan secara non-invasif menggunakan LED sebagai transmitter dan photodioda sebagai receiver. Pengukuran tekanan darah menggunakan sensor MPX5100DP dengan metode osilometri, dan pengukuran detak jantung menggunakan sensor MAX30102. Data dari sensor dan informasi tambahan berupa jenis kelamin, usia, dan status perokok akan diolah dengan metode K-Nearest Neighbor untuk mengetahui hasil klasifkasi penyakit jantung koroner. Dari keseluruhan pengukuran, akurasi rata-rata untuk pengukuran kolesterol adalah 97,9%, pengukuran tekanan darah sistolik adalah 96,3%, tekanan darah diastolik 92,7%, dan pengukuran detak jantung adalah 98,8%. Klasifikasi penyakit jantung koroner pada 15 responden menggunakan metode K-Nearest Neighbor memiliki perbedaan sekitar 20% dengan perhitungan menggunakan tabel Framingham Risk Score yang dilakukan oleh dokter.

Hypertension is high blood pressure (BP), if the systolic pressure increases from 140mmHg and the diastolic pressure increases from 90mmHg. Prevention of complications of hypertension can be done with medication and without medication to control cholesterol, without treatment such as conducting health education with regular counseling that focuses on controlling cholesterol and blood pressure by nurses. The prevalence of hypertension in people aged over 18 years in Indonesia is 34.11%. Every year the total number of people with hypertension will increase. Objective: to determine the relationship between cholesterol levels and blood pressure in patients after hypertension education at the Depok City General Hospital Methods: the design of this study was cross sectional and used Chi Square analysis. Result: Most of the study had normal cholesterol, 91 people (91.0%), almost half 46 respondents (46.0%) had moderate systolic blood pressure and half normal diastolic blood pressure as many as 63 respondents (63.0%).

The objective of the study was to explore the effects of pomegranate juice (PJ) as a water supplement on performance, egg quality, and blood parameters in laying hens. For this purpose, a total of 72 Babcock laying hens, were divided into three groups, one control and two experiments (n = 24). Each main group consists of 4 subgroups, and each subgroup consists of 6 chickens. PJ was administered in drinking water at 0%, 5%, and 10% to the experimental groups for 4 weeks. Feed was offered to all groups ad libitum. The addition of PJ had no significant effect on performance parameters, Haugh unit, and egg breaking strength. The yolk color of the 5% PJ group was found to be lighter than the control and other experimental groups (P<0.05). The PJ did not affect serum glucose levels, serum lipid profile, liver enzyme levels, serum total protein levels, most of the hematological parameters, and serum Ca:P ratio in the present study, whereas there were linear and quadratic dose responses in AST, ALT, and HDL. Serum total Ca and P levels of 5% PJ supplemented birds were lower than 10% supplemented PJ birds, whereas it was similar to the control for both (P<0.05). Serum IgG levels were lower in both treatment groups than the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, using 5% of PJ as a short-term water supplement have some specific effects on the cholesterol metabolism of laying hens rather than performance and immunity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Amaç: Hiperkolesteroleminin; işitme kaybı, tinnitus gibi iç kulak bozukluklarına yol açtığını destekleyen çalışmalar mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada lipid profili düzeylerinin yüksek frekanslı tinnitus üzerine olan etkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kulak Burun Boğaz polikliniğine Ekim 2017 – Mayıs 2020 tarihleri arasında tinnitus şikayeti ile başvuran hastalara saf ses odyometrisi, tinnitus pitch eşleme ve tinnitus loudness eşleme testleri uygulandı. Yüksek frekanslarda (2, 4 ve 6 kHz) tinnitus tespit edilen ve lipid paneli bakılmış hastalardan tinnitus grubu oluşturuldu. Kontrol grubu ise kardiyoloji polikliniğine rutin muayene için başvuran hastalardan oluşturuldu. Tinnitus grubu ile kontrol grubunun lipid profili karşılaştırılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Gruplar arasında cinsiyet ve yaş açısından istatistiksel fark yoktu. İki grubun HDL-K, LDL-K, trigliserit ve total kolesterol ortalamaları karşılaştırıldığında LDL-K, trigliserit ve total kolesterol arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edildi. HDL-K için istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu. Tinnitus şiddeti ile HDL-K, LDL-K, trigliserit ve total kolesterol değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyon bulunamadı. Sonuç: Yüksek frekanslarda tinnitus gelişimi için, LDL-K ve trigliserit düzeyi artışı risk faktörüdür. Lipid parametrelerinin düzeyi ile tinnitus şiddeti arasında ise korelasyon izlenmemiştir. Yüksek frekanslı tinnitus tespit edilen hastaların lipid profili rutin olarak incelenmelidir.

Objective: Obesity has a profound adverse impact on health care systems. Acupuncture has been shown to have beneficial effects on obesity. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of acupuncture on serum oxidative stress parameters in obese women. Material and Methods: During the study, 20 obese patients had acupuncture treatment, and as a control group, 20 obese patients had sham acupuncture treatment. Serum samples were taken from each patient before the first session and at the end of the 10th session and serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), the serum activity of superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase enzyme (GPx) were measured. Results: Changes in the serum levels of TG, HDL, MDA, AOPP and activity of SOD after the treatment compared to before the treatment in both acupuncture and sham acupuncture treated groups were found insignificant (p>0.05). On the other hand, the TC and LDL levels were observed to decrease significantly in comparison to the before-treatment values in both the acupuncture and sham acupuncture groups (p<0.05). In addition to this, the GPx activity significantly increased only as a result of the acupuncture treatment (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of our study indicated that acupuncture treatment may be effective in reducing cholesterol levels and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many probiotic microorganisms are used in fermented dairy products. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which is the most widely used among these, plays an important role in lowering the serum cholesterol level. In this study, cholesterol assimilation abilities of the Lactobacillus spp. isolated from Tulum cheese were determined and total cholesterol assimilation percentages varied between 68.22% and 12.19%. Bile and acid resistance and bile salt deconjugation of LAB, which have high cholesterol assimilation ability, were examined and their definitions were made with MALDI TOF MS. Starter culture combinations were created with selected microorganisms and cheese were produced. The cholesterol assimilation abilities in cheese were determined by HPLC and aroma compounds production were determined by GC-MS during 90 days of storage. At the end of 90 days of storage, cholesterol assimilation was determined as 52.85% in 1st group cheese, 33.12% in 2nd group cheese and 30.02% in control cheese. It was determined 2.3 butanedione, acetoin, acetic acid, caprylic acid and ethanol as flavoring agents in cheese groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The aim of this stuıdy was to determine the relation between inflammation markers, anthropometric measurements, and blood lipid values. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted with 274 adult healthy subjects in 2019. The relationship between anthropometric measurements and blood lipid values of individuals, full blood count inflammation markers, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte monocyte ratio (LMR) were examined.. Results: The average age of the 274 subjects, who participated in the study, was 34 years. No significant differences were detected between the NLR, PLR and LMR ratios according to the BMI scores. A very weak and negative correlation was detected between PLR and skeletal muscle, basal metabolic rate, body fluid amount and lean mass; and a weak and negative correlation was detected between HDL and BMI, body fat amount, and internal fat amount. A weak and positive correlation was detected between NLR and LDL. Conclusion: There was a very weak correlation between anthropometric values and inflammation markers, a weak-moderate correlation between blood lipid levels, and a weak correlation between inflammation markers and cholesterol levels.

Latar Belakang & Tujuan : Hipertensi merupakan sebuah masalah kesehatan yang mengancam hampir dapat ditemukan di tengah masyarakat. Indonesia merupakan negara berkembang yang ikut andil dalam menyumbang angka hipertensi, tercatat bahwa usia 18 tahun keatas prevalensi hipertensi di Indonesia sebesar 31,7%, dengan adanya permasalahan tersebut, peneliti akan meneliti faktor yang berkaitan dengan kejadian hipertensi di Indonesia. Bahan dan Metode : Penelitian ini adalah analisis data sekunder dengan desain penelitian ini adalah Cross Sectional serta menggunakan analisis Chi Square. Responden penelitian ini berjumlah 30133 yang telah dipilah dari kelengkapan datanya. Hasil : Sebagian besar responden berjenis kelamin perempuan (53,1%); dan berumur < 40 tahun (59,3 %); tidak obesitas (78,3%); memiliki kadar kolesterol rendah (99,2%); tidak hipertensi (92,1%). Analisis bivariat mendapatkan ada hubungan antara kadar kolesterol (p value 0,000; OR 4,450; CI 95% 3,329 – 5,984) dan obesitas (p value 0,000; OR 4,348; CI 95% 3,991– 4,738) terhadap hipertensi. Kesimpulan : Diantara dua variabel yang diteliti (kolesterol dan obesitas), kadar koleterol merupakan variabel yang paling berpeluang berisiko untuk terjadinya hipertensi.

Prevalensi hipertensi meningkat dalam lima tahun terakhir ini. Salah satu faktor penyebab hipertensi adalah kadar kolesterol yang tinggi. Pembuluh darah arteri yang tertumpuk kolesterol akan menyempit dan menjadi kaku sehingga menyebabkan tekanan darah meningkat. Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah tenaga pendidik dan tenaga kependidikan Fakultas Psikologi dan Kesehatan UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya yang berjumlah 26 orang. Kadar kolesterol diukur menggunakan alat digital easy touch dan tekanan darah diukur menggunakan tensi meter digital. Uji analisa yang digunakan adalah korelasi spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden mengalami hiperkolesterolemia (53,8%) dan tekanan darah yang normal (84,6%). Nilai sig (2-tailed) dari uji spearman menunjukkan nilai p=0,04 sehingga terdapat hubungan antara kadar kolesterol dengan hipertensi pada pegawai Fakultas Psikologi dan Kesehatan UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze the utility of lipid parameters individually and the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) ratio as a possible risk marker for intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH). Materials and Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective case-control study that included 226 patients with ICH and 226 controls. Lipid parameters were evaluated after 12 h of fasting in patients whose ICH was confirmed by brain computed tomography, and no underlying vascular, traumatic, or metabolic cause could be found. Results: The mean LDL-C levels and mean total cholesterol (TC) levels did not differ in in the patient and control groups. The mean HDL-C levels in the patient groups were significantly lower whereas triglyceride (TG) levels were significantly higher. In the patient and control groups, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio was 2.65±1.10 and 2.94±1.13 (p=0.006), TG/HDL-C ratio was 3.60±2.72 and 4.47±3.25 (p=0.002), and TC/HDL-C ratio was 4.37±1.49 and 4.83 ± 1.56 (p=0.002), respectively. Conclusion: Increased TG and decreased HDL-C levels were found to be associated with ICHs. However LDLC/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C ratios were low in the patient group. Therefore, we can conclude that these lipid ratios give clearer and more significant results in determining the risk of hemorrhage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
