The Serum Lipids in Human Atherosclerosis

The serum lipids in human atherosclerosis; an interim report.

An attempt is being made to determine the relation of the serum lipids to the progression of human atherosclerosis. The serum lipids are estimated serially during life and are compared with the degree of atherosclerosis found post mortem. The findings in the first 50 fatalities in the series of 800 patients are reported. The results make a poor case for the effect of derangements of the serum l...

Serum Lipids and Atherosclerosis

That hyperlipemia may be responsible for atherosclerosis has long been hypothecated on the grounds of what might be termed circumstantial evidence. The first experimental proof of this concept was provided by Anitschkow's demonstration in 1913 that atheroma can be produced in rabbits by feeding cholesterol. In recent years similar lesions have been induced by similar methods in five other speci...

Relationship Between Addiction to Opium and the Levels of Lipids in Human Serum

SUMMARY In order to investigate the relationship between addiction to opium and the levels of lipids in human serum. This project was carried out in Tehran in the year 1373/1994. 55 opium addicts and 70 non-addicts (controls) were examined for the levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL -C and LDL-C. The samples and the controls were all matched and the only difference was that the samples w...
