Effects of three drugs, Gemfibrozil, Diltiazem and lsosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) on various lipid parameters were studied in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) with positive treadmill stress response. Gemfibrozil and diltiazem significantly lowered the levels of serum total lipids (TL), triglycerides (TG), phospholipids (PL), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and incroased the levels of serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) significantly. However, patients administered with ISDN showed a significant increase in all the lipid parameters except HDL-C, which showed a significant decrease.  相似文献

Serum levels of various lipid parameters, i.e., triglycerides, total cholesterol, alpha lipoprotein or high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and beta lipoprotein or low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol were measured in a total of 138 histologically proven cases of breast cancer along with 146 control women. The mean levels of serum triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were found to be significantly higher in breast cancer cases as compared to controls. However, lower mean levels of serum HDL-cholesterol and sex-hormone binding glubulin (SHBG) were observed in breast cancer patients than the control subjects. The results indicate a probable relation between serum lipids and the activity of sex-hormones. Moreover, the study reflects an overall disturbance of lipid metabolism in the pathological process of breast cancer.  相似文献

In order to determine whether the screening of lipid profile is justified in patients with hypothyroidism we estimated serum lipids in cases having different levels of serum TSH. 60 patients of hypothyroidism in the age group of 20 to 60 yrs were studied for thyroid profile over a period of one year. On the basis of serum TSH level the cases were divided into three groups: In the first group TSH concentration was 8.8±2.99 μlU/ml, 95% confidence interval (Cl) 8.8±1.07, whereas serum total cholesterol and LDL-chol levels were 196±37.22 and 126±29.17 mg/dl respectively. The statistical analysis of these two groups showed a significant correlation between raised TSH levels and serum total cholesterol and LDL-chol (P<0.05 & P<0.01) respectively. We conclude that hypothyrodism is associated with changes in lipid profile.  相似文献

Sixteen weeks of chronic vitamin C deficiency, induced in guinea pigs by restricted vitamin C intake, resulted in a marked increase in the serum total LDL- and VLDL- cholesterol, triglycerides and total lipids. HDL-cholesterol decreased resulting in a highly significant increase in LDL/HDL ratio. The results reconfirm that vitamin C deficiency causes changes in blood lipid profile which could promote atherogenesis.  相似文献

Serum lipids and lipoproteins were estimated in 29 patients with acute myocardial infarction during acute phase (day 1,2,3), predischarge and after three months. Serum total lipids, total cholesterol (TC) and LDL-cholesterol (LDLc) showed no significant change during the hospital stay and three months followup. HDL-cholesterol (HDLc), however, started falling from day 2 onwards with statistically significant reduction at pre-discharge and remained so at 3 months. The ratios of TC/HDLc and LDLc/HDLc showed significant increase on predischarge day as compared to day 1. Serum triglycerides also showed an increasing trend after myocardial infarction with a significant increase on day 3 and predischarge as compared to day 1. it is concluded that the optimum time for assessment of serum lipid profile in patients with myocardial infarction seems to be within 24 hours of the acute episode.  相似文献

Stroke is the third leading cause of death and foremost cause of disability. Based on studies in CAD patients, a focus has been shifted on genetic and inflammatory markers as risk factors for stroke besides deranged lipid profile. The present study was aimed to ascertain the role of Lipoprotein (a), C-Reactive protein (CRP) levels and lipids in patients of ischemic stroke. The study was done in 82 subjects including 40 Computerized Tomography (CT) proven patients of ischemic stroke and 42 age and sex matched controls. Complete biochemical parameters including lipid profile were carried out on autoanalyzer using standard kits and reagents. Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] was determined by immunoturbidimetric assay. Atherogenic indices (Total cholesterol/ HDL, LDL/HDL and Lipid Tetrad Index) were calculated using these lipid parameters. The CRP levels were measured semi-quantitatively by latex agglutination test method. Out of 40 stroke patients, 38 had abnormalities in lipid profile (As per ATP III guidelines). A significant difference was seen in serum cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and atherogenic indices between the patients and controls. The difference in CRP levels in cases and control subjects was highly significant (4.78±0.72 mg/dl vs 0.76 ±0.70, p<0.001). 96.5% of patients with raised CRP had abnormal lipid levels also. CRP levels in stroke patients showed significant correlation with total cholesterol and LDL (p<0.001), Lp (a) (p=0.002) and atherogenic indices (p<0.05). Raised CRP levels in stroke patients were significantly associated with large territory infarcts, severe disability and poor functional outcome (p<0.05).Genetic [Lp(a)], metabolic (deranged Lipid profile) and inflammatory factors (CRP) together are instrumental in causing cerebrovascular arteriosclerosis leading to ischaemic stroke and can be used as important markers to identify patients at risk of severe stroke and to institute aggressive preventive strategies.  相似文献

Four groups of subjects: normal healthy normotensive nonpregnant women (Group A), normal normotensive pregnant women (Group B), women with preeclamptic toxaemia (Group C) and eclamptic women (Group D): with fifty subjects in each group, were investigated for serum lipid profile in the third trimester of pregnancy. There was significant increase in serum triglyceride and VLDL cholesterol leve as well as decrease in LDL cholesterol in normal pregnancy, while total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels did not show any statistically significant alteration. The preeclampsia (Group C) was associated with a significant rise in triglyceride and VLDL cholesterol and fall in HDL cholesterol concentration, while eclamptic women showed significant fall in HDL cholesterol and rise in LDL cholesterol as compared to normal pregnant women. However, interestingly, elevation of the ratios of total cholesterol: HDL cholesterol and triglyceride: HDL cholesterol as well as diminuition of the ratio of HDL cholesterol: VLDL cholesterol showed statistical significance in pregnancy induced hypertension in both Groups C and D, while eclamptic women showed significant elevation of LDL cholesterol: HDL cholesterol ratio in addition.  相似文献

A number of epidemiologic studies has been published in recent years showing an increase risk of death from cancer in subjects with low plasma cholesterol levels. Although several authors proposed that hypocholesterolemia is predisposing factor for cancer development, no causative relation has been established so far and that it may be that low plasma cholesterol is secondary to malignant disease. Hence, the present study was undertaken to examine the lipid profile in children patients with leukemia and Hodgkin's disease in comparison with age matched controls. The study included 52 normal healthy controls and 105 patients with leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. Lipid profile included serum cholesterol, HDL & LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Serum cholesterol, HDL & LDL cholesterol were found to be inversely associated with incidence of cancer, whereas triglycerides were significantly elevated in cancer patients. The inverse association between cancer and serum cholesterol may reflect a physiological response to early undiagnosed stages of cancer.  相似文献

There are numerous growing evidences of resemblance between carcinomas of the breast and prostate. A total of 45 cases of these two hormone-dependent cancers along with appropriate controls were subjected for status of epidermal growth factor receptors as well as serum lipid profile. Paraffin embedded tissue sections from aforesald tumours were analysed by immunohistochemical staining for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R), c-erbB-2 oncoprotein, estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR). Sera from same individuals were studied for serum lipid profile analysis. The study revealed that immunoexpression of all receptor proteins (EGF-R). c-erbB-2 was significantly higher in breast carcinoma. In addition, mean levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol were found to be significantly elevated while the level of HDL-cholesterol was observed to be lower among patients with breast cancer as compared to matched controls. Further, ER-positive breast cancer cases have significantly higher mean level of HDL-cholesterol when compared with ER-negative breast cancer patients. Contrary to this, no alteration in different serum lipid fractions was noticed among the patients with prostate cancer. However, a positive relationship was noticed between immunoexpressions of EGF-R and c-erbB-2 in prostate cancer.  相似文献

Overnight fasting samples of 1,031 apparently healthy people of Punjab visiting the hospital over a period of 3 years were tested for serum lipid profile. The mean ± SD of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol in mg/dl were 182.2 ± 33.9, 122.4 ± 33.4, 44.1 ± 6.8, 113.9 ± 32.0, 24.6 ± 7.1 respectively. When these subjects were grouped according to age and sex, no appreciable difference was observed between most of the groups. Serum triglycerides were found to be low and HDL-C was high in females when compared with males of similar age and vice versa. With advancing age, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were found to be higher in women. The present study suggests that the obtained lipid values should be taken into consideration during clinical evaluation.  相似文献

Growth retardation is one of the significant changes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Disturbances in growth hormone (GH) are held responsible for several complications in CKD. GH is a protein based peptide hormone which directly or indirectly regulates renal functions to ensure homeostasis. We investigated the effects of growth hormone on plasminogen activators (PA) in rat kidney, PA and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), glucose and fibrinogen in plasma and serum lipid profile. Rats were injected daily with 250 mU GH kg-1 body weight subcutaneously for one week. Growth hormone treatment increased PA activity significantly in rat kidneys as compared to controls. No changes were seen in PA, PAI and fibrinogen levels in the plasma of two groups of rats. There was significant decrease in plasma glucose, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels in serum of treated group resulting in the decrease of HDL/LDL and total cholesterol/cholesterol ratios. However, triglycerides and VLDL showed significant higher activity in the serum of treated group as compared to controls. Our data suggests that GH administration might improve renal function by increasing PA activity in kidney as well as by reducing the cholesterol content in blood. GH may be effective in improving growth failure as it helps to maintain the normal homeostatic balance.  相似文献

Fasting samples of 1329 apparently healthy vegetarian Gujarati population were tested for total cholesterol, triglycerides and three major fractions of lipoproteins, i.e. high density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins and very low density lipoproteins. All the values showed marked increase with the age. Except for serum triglycerides, values differ in males and females in the age group of above 45 years. Compared to Northern Indian population low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein values were higher, but values of triglycerides and very low density lipoproteins were lower. There is no significant difference in total cholesterol values. Compared to Southern Indian population low density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein values were higher but values of triglycerides, total cholesterol and high density lipoprotein were lower. All serum lipid values were significantly lower than the Westem population. The range of values for both the sexes is presented for different age groups.  相似文献

The association of serum antioxidatns and lipids was studied in 350 urban individuals with an age range of 40–76 years, in comparison with a control rural sample of equal size. Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) activity was found to be significantly higher in urban population when compared to rural population. Urban population were characterised by elevated levels of serum cholesterol (SC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) and triglycerides (TG) in comparison with rural population. In urban females both tocopherol (T) and GPx were negatively related with age. The serum lipid levels were found to be increased with age in urban population when compared to rural population. Further the correlation coefficients revealed that LDLC positively (.285:P<.05), and TG inversely (?.512:P<.05) related to ascorbic acid (AA), and an inverse association of SC (?.625:P<.05), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) (?.369:P<.05) and LDLC (?.532:P<.05) with T in urban population. In rural population GPx shown a good positive correlation with lipid levels. The results of this study revealed that accumulation of lipids with unaltered antioxidants may be the consequence of urbanization.  相似文献

Total lipids, cholesterol, phospholipids, free fatty acids, total glycerides and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity of 26 patients of Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD) and similar number of age and sex matched control individuals were studied to find out abnormality in lipid metabolism. Incidence of IHD was more common amongst males as compared to females. Significant low levels of serum LPL activity and higher levels of other parameters was thus evident in patients of IHD and this may explain the altered lipid metabolism and hypertriglyceridemia in patients of IHD.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the serum levels of lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase and lipoprotein cholesterol in hyperthyroid patients. The serum levels of total cholesterol and triacylglycerols were also determined in order to assess the lipid status of these patients. It was observed that serum content of total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density liproprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly lower (P<0.001) in these patients whereas serum triacylglycerols (Tg.) and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) (P>0.05) did not show any significant change as compared to control values. However, the serum level of lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) was significantly higher (P<0.001) in these patients. It is concluded that an increased LCAT activity plays a significant role in regulating lipoprotein cholesterol levels in hyperthyroid patients.  相似文献

Coronary artery disease is now a major health problem in India. In past few decades the battle to reduce the incidence of coronary artery disease has led the researchers to look for various clinical markers, which would help early diagnosis of the diseases. The present study was undertaken to assess the level of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and few other lipids in selected myocardial infarction (MI) patients below 45 years without having any traditional risk factors but with positive family history. Fasting blood samples were taken from 65 patients and their total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and serum Lp(a) were determined. The control group consisted of 50 age matched healthy individuals. The mean Lp(a) level was 58.6±3.20 mg/dl in patients and 19.70±0.18 mg/dl in controls. Thus Lp(a) levels were found significantly higher in patients with MI (p<0.05 for patients versus control) as compared to the controls. There was no significant difference in the levels of total cholesterol (TC), LDL, VLDL HDL, TGL as compared to controls but there was an increase in TC/HDL cholesterol ratio. The results of this study suggest that high level of Lp(a) and TC/HDL ratio has a distinctive association with MI, independent of other common coronary risk factors. Hence, Lp(a) level in serum emerges to be a promising marker for diagnosis of coronary artery diseases.  相似文献

Both cigarette smoking and propranolol administration significantly alter plasma lipid profile. We examined the relationship of cigarette smoking and propranolol administration with fasting serum total cholesterol, triglyceride, lipoprotein cholesterol subfractions (high density, low density, and very low density), Apo-A, Apo-B and ratios obtained from these variables in 42 hypertensive patients. Significantly lower values of HDL cholesterol, Apo-A and HDL-C/total cholesterol and Apo-A/Apo-B ratios were observed in smokers taking propranolol than non-smokers not taking propranolol. Smokers who were not on propranolol also had significantly lower values as compared to non-smokers. These findings suggest that smoking may be the more significant factor responsible for alteration in lipid profile.  相似文献

Effect of feeding ripe and unripe papaya fruit pulps were investigated on blood lipid profile of normal male adult albino rabbits by giving them pulps separately at the dose of 15 and 30g per day along with standard diet over a period of six weeks. As compared to controls both fruit pulps resulted in highly significant (p<0.001) and consistent lowering of serum cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides and elevation in phospholipids and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels at 1,3 and 6 weeks of fruit pulp feeding indicating a dose dependent effect. Observations clearly support medicinal value ofC. Papaya in the management of atherosclerosis, fatty liver, ischaemic changes and consequential myocardial infarction.  相似文献

Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels were estimated in 45 dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients and were compared with 31 healthy controls. The total serum cholesterol (215±50 mg/dl) and serum triglyceride (162±76 mg/dl) levels in DCM patients did not show any significant changes as compared to normal controls. The cholesterol and triglyceride and the individual lipoprotein fractions, viz HDL, VLDL, LDL and chylomicrons were analysed in 10 patients. The values did not differ significantly when compared to those of controls. These findings suggest that serum lipids may not play a role in the antietiopathogenesis of DCM.  相似文献

Despite various studies with conflicting results, the effect of thyroid hormones on lipids and insulin levels in dysthyroidism is of great interest. This case control study was aimed to perceive the existence of IR and dyslipidemia in mild subclinical hypothyroid subjects (TSH ≤ 9.9 µIU/ml) as compared to their age and gender matched euthyroid controls. Basic demographic information like height, weight was recorded. Serum samples of all the subjects were assayed for thyroid profile, lipid profile, blood glucose, HbA1C and insulin. BMI and insulin resistance was calculated. Compared to controls patients with mild subclinical hypothyroidism demonstrated hyperinsulinemia and dyslipidemia observed by the higher LDL cholesterol. A significantly positive correlation was observed for HOMA-IR with TSH and LDL cholesterol. Hence, even in the mild subclinical hypothyroid state assessment of thyroid function should be combined with estimation of plasma glucose, insulin and serum lipids to monitor and prevent its associated effects.  相似文献
