Abstract
It has not been well defined whether plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) progresses arteriolosclerosis (arteriosclerosis of small arteries) or not. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) is an indicator of the function of renal arterioles and capillaries of glomeruli. The relationship between e-GFR and plasma LDL-C was studied to estimate the effect of plasma LDL-C on the function of renal arterioles and capillaries of glomeruli to speculate the effect of plasma LDL-C on arteriolosclerosis. Major coronary risk factors; blood pressure, plasma lipids, and fasting plasma glucose were compared among 4 groups of examinees of a health evaluation and promotion center separated by e-GFR, namely, Control group, Group 1, 2, 3 from highest e-GFR to lowest e-GFR. Numbers of total male and female subjects were 4602 and 2920, respectively. Plasma LDL-C levels were significantly high in Group 2 and 3 in all male subjects and high in Group 1, 2, and 3 in male subjects with age of fifties, compared with Control group. Plasma LDL-C levels were significantly high in Group 1, 2, and 3 in all female subjects and high in Group 2 and 3 in female subjects with age of fifties, compared with Control group. Plasma levels of LDL-C wer...Continue Reading
