[Relation between concentrations of lipids, carbohydrates, fibrinogen and thyroid hormone and insulin levels in the blood of patients with chronic forms of ischemic heart disease]. 1984

V A Dudaev, and V V Gorin, and T I Torkhovskaia, and A S Ivanov

Seventy-five patients with chronic coronary heart disease (CHD), aged 41 to 65 years, were studied for levels of triiodothyronine, total and free thyroxin and immunoreactive insulin. Simultaneously, the glucose tolerance test was carried out and blood concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, fibrinogen and disoluble fibrin were determined. Patients with CHD displayed decreased basal levels of triiodothyronine, total and free thyroxin and increased concentrations of immunoreactive insulin in the blood which was attended with decreased tolerance to glucose. These hormonal disturbances resulted in an elevation in cholesterol, triglycerides and fibrinogen. CHD patients showed an inverse correlation between cholesterol and free thyroxin levels and a direct relationship between triglycerides and immunoreactive insulin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

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

D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
