Significance of determining levels of apolipoproteins A-I and B in the diagnostics and assessment of lipid-related atherogenic risk in hyperalpha-lipoproteinemia, hypocholesterolemia and hypo-HDL-chol

The significance of determining apolipoproteins apoB and apoA-I and their correlation with lipid status parameters were tested in hyperalpha lipoproteinemia (30 women), hypocholesterolemia (10 men) and hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia (15 women and 21 men). Control groups were 20 normolipidemic men and wome...

Description
Summary:The significance of determining apolipoproteins apoB and apoA-I and their correlation with lipid status parameters were tested in hyperalpha lipoproteinemia (30 women), hypocholesterolemia (10 men) and hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia (15 women and 21 men). Control groups were 20 normolipidemic men and women, each. ApoA-I showed positive correlation with HDL-cholesterol in hyperalpha-lipoproteinemia, with total and HDL-cholesterol in hypocholesterolemia, and with total and LDL-cholesterol in females with hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia, and negative correlation with cholesterol ratios only in hypocholesterolemia. ApoB showed a positive correlation with total and LDL-cholesterol in all groups, and with cholesterol ratios in hyperalpha-lipoproteinemia and hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia. The apoB/apoA-I ratio, correlating with the majority of lipid parameters, and with the highest percentage of pathological values in all tested groups, was singled out as the most sensitive parameter for the evaluation of lipid-related atherogenic risks.
