Effect of Urtica dioica extract intake upon blood lipid profile in the rats by Daher, Costantine F.

“…Aqueous (150 mg/kg/day) and to a lesser extent petroleum ether (20 mg/kg/day) extract of Urtica dioica given for 30 days to rats fed with normal or high-fat diet, improved the blood lipid profile. Significant decreases in total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, LDL / HDL cholesterol ratio and plasma total apo B were observed. …”

Association Between Three-Months Vitamin D Supplementation and Depressive Symptomatology incidence among Saudi Arabian Adults by Khaddaj, Rashel

“…The analysis utilized Mann Whitney test, independent t-test, chi-square, Fisher’s exact, and ANOVA.Logistic regressions were performed to assess the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and prevalence of depression while adjusting for: age, gender, Body mass Index, Mediterranean Diet Adherence, and physical activity. Lastly, repeated measures were performed to check for the interaction between time and Vitamin D. …”
