Abstract

A random sample of men (319) aged 20 to 59 was examined in one of the administrative districts in Moscow. A study was made of the blood plasma content of HDL2 and HDL3 cholesterol, triglycerides with relation to insulinemia and glycemia both on an empty stomach and during the GTT. An analysis of the data obtained led to a conclusion that the level of insulinemia was a factor influencing the level of HDL2 and HDL3. Derangements in the metabolism of the above lipoproteins were likely to be associated with a high risk of CHD development especially among patients with diabetes mellitus. Therapeutic measures aimed at insulin secretion reduction were recommended for the normalization of lipid metabolism including the content of HDL2 and HDL3.

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.
