Cardiovascular diseases and psoriasis have been well established as separate entities, however, there is uncertainty with regards to a link between the two diseases. A few environmental, psychological and social factors have been implicated as potential common risk factors that may exacerbate the two diseases, and an array of complex immune and non-immune inflammatory mediators can potentially explain a plausible link. Pharmacotherapy has also played a role in establishing a potential association, especially with the advent of biological agents which directly act on inflammatory factors shared by the two diseases. This review will look at existing evidence and ascertain a potential correlation between the two.
The aim: It aims to study the effect of fasting and low fat diet on ghrelin hormone, glucose level, the liver enzymes AST and ALT. Materials and methods: The experimental study was conducted using 24 healthy young male albino rat weighing 95±5 gram and age 2 month, one-way (ANOVA) were employed to determine a significance of differences. Results: A significant increase p≤0.05 in glucose level of non-fasting control group compere with non-fasting low fat diet group, significant increase p≤0.05 in glucose level of control group fasting for 20h compared with low fat diet fasting for 20h group, significant decrease p≤0.05 when compares non-fasting low fat diet compares to 20h fasting low fat diet and significant decrease p≤0.05 when compares non-fasting control compares to 20h fasting control, while the effect of fasting and low fat diet on ghrelin hormone. A significant decrease p≤0.05 in ghrelin hormone level of non-fasting control group compere with non-fasting low fat diet group, significant increase p≤0.05 in ghrelin hormone of control group fasting for 20h compared with low fat diet fasting for 20h group, non-fasting control compares to 20h fasting control show a significant (p≤0.05) increase, Fasting with low fat diet cause a significant decrease p≤0.05 in ALT level, also in AST level there was a significant decrease p≤0.05 after 20h fasting. Conclusions: The fasting and low fat diet have effected on ghrelin hormone, glucose level and fasting with low fat diet cause decrease in ALT level, also in AST level decrease after 20h fasting in male albino rats.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
