Older age women have increase incidence of cardiovascular disease due to decrease estrogen production after menopause that affect lipid metabolism by decreasing the HDL cholesterol level and increasing LDL and total cholesterol, triglyceride, and lipoprotein (a) level and also after menopause they will lose the cardioprotective effects of estrogen as it affects glucose metabolism and the hemostatic system, and effect on endothelial cell function (Eichner…

the change in TG values did not completely follow the patterns of the cholesterol values (Fig. 3B). However, cholesterol and triglycerides are not metabolized via the same mechanisms. Therefore, the gene therapy approach used herein to increase the LDL-C uptake was not expected to similarly affect the circulating TG levels. No significant differences were found in comparison with the non-transfected controls in the TG levels in a long-term follow-up [at the 16 and 26 weeks’ time points P values…

When a patient presents to the hospital with a MI the optimal treatment to relieve pain is oxygen, nitroglycerin, and morphine sulfate respectively (Boateng, 2013).

In the following paragraphs, it will show about five advantages about GM food. First of all, Genetically Modified plants and crops help crops to have more resistances (Connect US the Global Issue Blog, 2015), which is combated the natural disease, less to depend on the pesticides. That mean GM food can lead to decreased use of pesticides, GM crops do not need pesticides to have stronger protection and resistance combat the different kinds of pests and ,insects that may destroy it, they can be…
