Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System III: Serum Lipid Profile01:25

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System III: Serum Lipid Profile

197
Understanding serum lipids is crucial for maintaining cardiovascular health and preventing heart disease and stroke.
Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...

Lipids: Dietary Sources and Requirements

843
Lipids are an essential component of a balanced human diet. Triglycerides, which make up the majority of dietary lipids, are found in both saturated fats—commonly present in meat, dairy products, and certain tropical plants like coconut, and hydrogenated oils such as margarine and baking shortenings (trans fats)—and unsaturated fats, which are abundant in seeds, nuts, olive oil, and most vegetable oils. The main sources of cholesterol include egg yolks, various meats and organ...

Cholesterol: Significance and Regulation

588
Although not a source of energy, cholesterol plays a significant role as a foundational structure for bile salts, steroid hormones, and vitamin D, as well as being a crucial component of plasma membranes. Approximately 15% of blood cholesterol is derived from our diet, with the remainder synthesized from acetyl CoA by the liver and intestines. Cholesterol is eliminated from the body through its conversion into bile salts, which are eventually discarded in the feces.
Considering cholesterol and...

Overview of Lipid Metabolism01:24

Overview of Lipid Metabolism

1.8K
Lipid metabolism is a crucial process in the human body that involves the synthesis and degradation of lipids. This process is essential for energy production, cell membrane formation, and hormone production, among other functions.
Lipolysis: The Breakdown of Lipids:
Lipolysis is the process of breaking down lipids, particularly triglycerides, into glycerol and fatty acids. This process typically occurs in the adipose tissue and is triggered by various hormones, including glucagon and...

Lipid-Lowering Drugs: Statins and Miscellaneous Agents

699
Hyperlipidemia, a medical condition often referred to as high cholesterol, is characterized by abnormally elevated levels of lipids in the bloodstream. When present in excess, these lipids, specifically cholesterol and triglycerides, can lead to serious health complications, often involving cardiovascular diseases. Illnesses like atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and pancreatitis have all been linked to untreated hyperlipidemia. This means controlling and regulating cholesterol and triglyceride...

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction01:30

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction

11
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder characterized by the buildup of plaques on the arterial inner wall, causing them to narrow and harden over time. These plaques comprise lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue. The process primarily affects the intima of large and medium-sized arteries, reducing blood flow in any artery.Etiology and risk factorsThe cause of atherosclerosis is multifactorial, involving a complex interplay among endothelial injury, lipid...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Dermatology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a T-cell mediated inflammatory skin disease impacting quality of life.
  • Shared inflammatory pathways link psoriasis with thyroid dysfunction.
  • Psoriasis increases cardiovascular event risk, with dyslipidemia as a key factor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate thyroid function and lipid profiles in psoriasis patients.
  • To investigate the association between psoriasis, thyroid dysfunction, and dyslipidemia.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective case-control study with 76 psoriasis patients and 80 controls.
  • Assessed thyroid function tests (free T3, T4, TSH).
  • Analyzed lipid profiles (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides).

Main Results:

  • Hypothyroidism was observed in 13.15% of psoriasis patients.
  • Psoriasis patients exhibited significantly higher lipid profile parameters (p<0.001).
  • Psoriasis patients were 2.8 times more likely to have thyroid dysfunction and 8.7 times more likely to have dyslipidemia.

Conclusions:

  • Thyroid dysfunction and dyslipidemia are common comorbidities in psoriasis.
  • Assessing thyroid function and lipid profiles is recommended for psoriasis patients.
  • These assessments aid in understanding psoriasis pathogenesis and managing comorbidities.
