Comparison of the lipid profile and lipoprotein(a) between sedentary and highly trained subjects

Abstract

There is consolidated evidence that physical activity exerts beneficial effects on several chronic conditions and longevity, on the basis of its proposed biological effects, especially on lipid profiles. However, debate continues regarding the intensity of activity required for good health, as vigorous physical activity might overwhelm advantageous changes. In addition, little is known so far on the effect of a vigorous and regular aerobic training regimen on emerging markers of cardiovascular risk, such as lipoprotein(a), total/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and the atherogenic index of plasma. To further investigate this topic, an extensive lipid profile, in accordance with the most recent guidelines issued by the American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP), was evaluated in 60 healthy male sedentary controls and in a wide population of professional endurance athletes, including 40 male professional cross-country skiers and 102 male professional road cyclists. Total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, TC low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ratio and the atherogenic index of plasma were...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
