[Lipid content in the blood serum of children and adolescents]. 1979

I P Drobkova, and S G Aptekar'

Content of lipids was studied in blood serum of 350 practically healthy children and teen-agers of both sexes at the age of 5-14 living in Moscow. The mean content of cholesterol was 169 mg per 100 ml in blood serum of the children; it did not depend on the age and sex. The upper level of the normal cholesterol content was about 205 mg/100 ml. Concentration of triglycerides was gradually increased in children blood serum with an increase in age from 51 mg/100 ml in 5-9 year old children up to 68 mg/100 ml at the age of 10-14 years and did not depend on sex. The increase in concentration of triglycerides correlated with an elevation in pre-beta-lipoprotein fraction in blood serum. The mean content of triglycerides was 60 mg/100 ml in 5-14 year old children. The upper level of normal triglyceride content was 115 mg/100 ml of blood serum for children of the age group studied.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008055	Lipids	A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

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

D005609	Free Radicals	Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated.	Free Radical
