Serum levels of interleukin-18 are reduced by diet and n-3 fatty acid intervention in elderly high-risk men.

30 Oct 2009 Inflammation plays a central role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, and inflammatory markers have been reported to predict cardiovascular events. Mediterranean-like diet and very long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ... Read more...

Cardiometabolic risk of second-generation antipsychotic medications during first-time use in children and adolescents.

26 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Cardiometabolic effects of second-generation antipsychotic medications are concerning but have not been sufficiently studied in pediatric and adolescent patients naive to antipsychotic medication. OBJECTIVE: To study the association of ... Read more...

Association of perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonate with serum lipids among adults living near a chemical plant.

19 Oct 2009 Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are compounds that do not occur in nature but have been widely used since World War II and persist indefinitely in the environment. They are present in the serum of Americans with ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Lipids'

Definition: A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.
