[Alpha-lipoproteins and viral hepatitis (author's transl)]. 1978

P Pedroni, and E Corsanini, and L Spandrio

The plasma levels of alpha-lipoproteins, triglycerides, cholesterol, bilirubin, ALT and AST were followed serially in a group of 10 patients with acute viral hepatitis. Hypertrygliceridaemia, low level of cholesterol and very low level of alpha band of the lipoproteins were found at the onset of the disease. Alpha-lipoprotein reappeared gradually during the course of the disease and was sensitive indices of improvement of liver function. A negative linear correlation was found between alpha-lipoprotein and total bilirubin and between alpha-lipoprotein and ALT.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
