The most common examples include recommendations regarding monitoring intervals, counseling, and referral to other clinical specialists. The ungraded recommendations are generally written as simple declarative statements, but are not meant to be interpreted as being stronger recommendations than Level 1 or 2 recommendations. Grade Quality of evidence Meaning A High We are confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect. B Moderate The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different. C Low The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect. D Very low The estimate of effect is very uncertain, and often will be far from the truth.

  • Glycemia and Blood Lipids
    Journal of Hong Kong Institute of Medical Laboratory Sciences 2013-2014 Volume 14 No 1 & 2 Glycemia and Blood Lipids Britten Chung-Wai Lam1, Stanley Leung1, Daniel Chuen-Chu Tam2 1 Clinical Laboratory, Tsuen Wan Adventist Hospital 2 Genepath Technology Limited Address for correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a heterogenous disease with a common hyperglycemic manifestation. 90% of DM is due to type 2 diabetes and it has become a common disease worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between blood glucose level and the concentration of the various blood lipid fractions in non-diabetic and diabetic patients. This study also observed and evaluated the correlation between FBG and HbA1c as a diagnostic tool in diabetes. This is a retrospective study of data collected in a private hospital from 788 non-diabetic and diabetic patients (451 males and 337 females) aged 18 to 90. Fasting blood glucose, HbA1c assays and lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglyceride (TG) were analyzed simultaneously in all subjects. Data analysis was performed by SPSS (Version 17). A P values ≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant between tested groups. Female patients in borderline and diabetes groups had significantly higher TG, lower HDL-C levels and higher TG/HDL-C ratio (P<0.05) when compared with the normal group. Male diabetes group had significantly higher TG, lower HDL-C levels and higher TG/HDL-C ratio (P<0.05) when compared with corresponding normal and borderline groups. No significant difference was observed in the rest of tested parameters.

  • Does Resistance Training Have an Effect on Levels Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Does resistance training have an efect on levels of ferritin and atherogenic lipids in postmenopausal women? – A pilot trial Liam J. Ward1,2*, Mats Hammar1, Lotta Lindh-Åstrand1, Emilia Berin1, Hanna Lindblom3, Marie Rubér1, Anna-Clara Spetz Holm1 & Wei Li1* The objective of this study was to determine if 15 weeks of resistance training (RT) can alter the levels of blood lipids, body iron status, and oxidative stress in postmenopausal women with vasomotor symptoms. Postmenopausal women enrolled in a randomised controlled trial were allocated to either a sedentary control group (n = 29) or a RT group (n = 26). Blood samples were taken at week-0 and week-15 for all participants. Blood lipids and iron status were measured via routine clinical analyses. Immunoassays were used to measure oxidative stress markers. The RT group, with good compliance, was associated with signifcant reductions in ferritin, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Moreover, ferritin was positively correlated with atherogenic lipids while negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein in RT women. This occurred without alterations in serum iron, transferrin, transferrin-saturation, C-reactive protein and oxidative stress markers. No diferences were found in control women. This study suggests that RT in postmenopausal women both reduces levels of ferritin and counteracts atherogenic lipid profles independent of an apparent oxidative mechanism. RT may be a benefcial intervention in postmenopausal women via an interaction between ferritin and lipids; however, further investigation in a larger cohort is essential. Te risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) approximately doubles in women during the 10 years afer menopause, and physical inactivity contributes to this risk1,2.

First and foremost I would like to gratefully and sincerely thank my supervisor Dr. Thomas W. Moon for his guidance, understanding, friendship, and most importantly, his patience during my graduate studies at University of Ottawa. His mentorship was paramount in providing a well-rounded experience consistent my long-term career goals. He encouraged me not only to be a biologist but also be an instructor and independent thinker. I am not sure many graduate students are given the opportunity to develop their own individuality and self- sufficiency by being allowed to work with such independence. For everything you’ve done for me, Dr. Moon, I thank you. I would like to extend my thanks the Department of Biology at University of Ottawa, especially those members of my doctoral committee for their input, valuable discussions and accessibility.

  • Inhibitory Potential of Omega-3 Fatty and Fenugreek Essential Oil on Key
    Hamden et al. Lipids in Health and Disease 2011, 10:226 http://www.lipidworld.com/content/10/1/226 RESEARCH Open Access Inhibitory potential of omega-3 fatty and fenugreek essential oil on key enzymes of carbohydrate-digestion and hypertension in diabetes rats Khaled Hamden1,3*, Henda Keskes2, Sahla Belhaj3, Kais Mnafgui3, Abdelfattah feki3 and Noureddine Allouche2 Abstract Background: diabetes is a serious health problem and a source of risk for numerous severe complications such as obesity and hypertension. Treatment of diabetes and its related diseases can be achieved by inhibiting key digestives enzymes-related to starch digestion secreted by pancreas. Methods: The formulation omega-3 with fenugreek terpenenes was administrated to surviving diabetic rats. The inhibitory effects of this oil on rat pancreas a-amylase and maltase and plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) were determined. Results: the findings revealed that administration of formulation omega-3 with fenugreek terpenenes (Om3/terp) considerably inhibited key enzymes-related to diabetes such as a-amylase activity by 46 and 52% and maltase activity by 37 and 35% respectively in pancreas and plasma. Moreover, the findings revealed that this supplement helped protect the b-Cells of the rats from death and damage. Interestingly, the formulation Om3/terp modulated key enzyme related to hypertension such as ACE by 37% in plasma and kidney. Moreover administration of fenugreek essential oil to surviving diabetic rats improved starch and glucose oral tolerance additively. Furthermore, the Om3/terp also decreased significantly the glucose, triglyceride (TG) and total-cholesterol (TC) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) rates in the plasma and liver of diabetic rats and increased the HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-Ch) level, which helped maintain the homeostasis of blood lipid.
