Abstract:
Serum levels of HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and total cholesterol were measured in 107 normal Koreans and in 327 patients; 66 patients with hypertension, 34 patients with coronary heart disease, 45 patients with cerebral thrombosis, 18 patients with nephrotic syndrome, and 164 patients with diabetes mellitus. Patterns of serum lipoprotein fractions were also investigated by agarose gel electrophoresis in 41 normal Koreans and in 72 patients; 14 patients with hypertension, 10 patients with coronary heart disease, 19 patients with cerebral thrombosis, 7 patients with nephrotic syndrome, and 22 patients with diaebetes mellitus. The results are summarized as follows; 1. Mean values of serum HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride and cholesterol in normal Koreans were 52.2+/-12.4mg/100ml, 110.6+/-31.6mg/100ml and 175.3+/-21.4mg/100ml respectively. No significant difference in mean value of serum HDL-cholesterol was observed between Korean males and females. 2. In Korean females serum, HDL-cholesterol level showed peak values in the fifth decade, but no significant difference with aging was observed in Korean males. 3. Serum HDL-cholesterol levels were significantly decreased in patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, and in male diabetic patients with complication. 4. Serum triglyceride levels were significantly increased in all the disease groups, and serum cholesterol levels were significantly increased in all the disease groups except cerebral thrombosis. 5. Mean values of alpha-lipoprotein, pre-beta-lipoprotein and beta-lipoprotein fraction ratios in normal Koreans were 28.9+/-7.5%, 14.9+/-4.9% and 56.2+/-8.1% respectively. 6. Seum alpha-lipoprotein fraction ratio was significantly decreased in relatively advanced hypertensive patients. Pre-beta-lipoprotein fraction ratio tends to be increased in patients with hypertension, cerebral thrombosis, nephrotic syndrome and in diabetic patients with complications, and beta-lipoprotein fraction ratio tends to be increased in patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease and nephrotic syndrome, but those were not statistically significant.
