Effect of smoking on serum levels of HDL apoproteins.
Quantitative determination of HDL apoproteins in serum from 97 healthy men showed a significantly lower apoA-I and apoA-II level in smokers than in non-smokers. Also a significant, negative correlation was found between the apoA-I or apoA-II levels, and the number of cigarettes smoked per day.
