Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the level of toxicity of nitrosamine on some biochemical and hematological parameters and the curative effect of olive oil and ephedra extract on domestic 24 male rabbits divided into four groups, each with different doses which were applied for 33 days. In the present study, olive oil and ephedra administration with nitrosamine reduced its induced harm in a significant way. These finding suggest that olive oil, effectively, reduces nitrosamine-induced toxicity more than ephedra, and generally, their use concomitantly with nitrosamine have an extremely beneficial role in overcoming the adverse effects occurring due to chronic ingestion of nitrosamines.

Abstract: Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from autoimmune destructions of β cells lead to lack or sever reduction in insulin secretion. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is more prevalent among DM patients than other population. Higher risk of CHD is seen in DM patients who are smokers, have lipid abnormalities, obese, and hypertension. Objective: The overall aim of this study is to evaluate serum lipid profiles of patients with T1DM in comparison with age matched controls in Gaza Strip, Palestine. Materials and Methods: This study was a case control started in Jan, 2014 and finished in Sept, 2014. A total of 50 T1DM patients as a cases group and 100 age-matched healthy individuals as a controls group, aged between 3-18 years. Personal & demographic data, and clinical data situation of the study population were taken by interview questionnaire. Anthropometric and biochemical evaluation were carried out. Collected data and biochemical analysis were analyzed using SPSS version 18. Results: There was no statistically differences among the study subjects with respect to age (P=0.729). Regarding to gender, there was a statistically difference among the study subjects with respect to gender (P=0.014). Concerning the body mass index (BMI), the results reported that there was no statistically difference among the study subjects with respect to BMI (P=0.146). Regarding lipid profiles, this research found that the percentage of high serum triglycerides (TGs) levels was significantly higher among diabetic patients than in controls (p=0.001), However both of them have normal TGs levels, generally. Moreover, despite of both of T1DM and controls in generally, have a normal levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), there were no statistically significant differences among both of them according to these biochemical parameters (p>0.05). On the other hand, there was no relationship between the lipid profiles in T1DM patients and the gender, family history and duration of DM, and BMI, except that, elevation of TGs levels was significantly higher in diabetic males as compared to diabetic females (p=0.011). Conclusions: T1DM patients group and control group were appeared with little or no progressing towards the emergence atherosclerosis and coronary risk factors; because, mostly, they were having normal serum TC, LDL-C &, TGs with low or normal BMI.
