Abstract

We have learned a substantial amount about the influence of exercise on plasma lipoprotein status in women. However, studies on women still lag behind those on men, and much detail remains to be filled in. For instance, the fluctuating sex hormone levels in women during the month produce substantial variations in plasma lipoprotein levels, which needs further investigation and must be considered in studies on premenopausal women. Meanwhile, it seems clear that athletes engaging in aerobic sports at a high level are particularly favored with respect to their low overall risk of coronary heart disease and, in particular, to their highly favorable plasma lipoprotein pattern.

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.
