Abstract

We determined by comparison, in 30 patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans and in 10 normal peoples, 50-70 years aged, the values of some glycolipidic parameters (blood glucose, triglyceridemia, cholesterolemia, nephaemia, beta- and pre-beta-lipoproteinemia) and moreover the hormonal ones (IRI, GH, cortisolemia) at fast in the morning, during the whole day and during some blocking and stimulating tests. Patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans presented a significant alteration of the lipidic outline (hyper-lipoproteinemia of IV type sec. Fredr) and of the carbohydrate metabolism, emphasized at the OGTT by a dissimilar tolerance (normal, borderline and pre-diabetic type) referring to a normal high and low insulin immission respectively. We dissert widely about biohumural data, as reflexes involved from the pancreatic function and from the ischaemic process, and we report the eventual tie between the detected hormone-metabolic disorders and the development of arteriosclerotic occlusive disease in the lower extremities.

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.
