[Serum lipids and lipoproteins in peripheral vascular disease]. 1985

T Umemoto

Serum lipids and lipoproteins were investigated in 102 cases with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO), 41 cases with Buerger's disease (TAO) and 133 normal controls. The following results were obtained. In ASO, triglyceride, beta-lipoprotein, free fatty acid were higher than control, but total cholesterol and lipid peroxide were not increased. LDL and VLDL increased though LCAT decreased in ASO. ASO had lower HDL-cholesterol, HDL-phospholipid and apoprotein-A levels than control. HDL-cholesterol/HDL-phospholipid and HDL-cholesterol/Apoprotein-A ratios decreased also, indicating changes in quality in addition to quantity. In young patients with ASO, total cholesterol and LDL were higher than in old one. The same tendency was found in patients with proximal occlusion (aorto-iliac). In TAO, triglyceride, free fatty acid and VLDL increased and HDL-cholesterol, Apoprotein-A and LCAT decreased than that of control. These data may suggest that the change of lipids and lipoproteins in ASO are same in coronary heart disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
