title: Association between total cholesterol and plasma thromboxane B2 in human adults.
abstract: Apparently healthy adults were examined for their lipid and thromboxane parameters. The correlation between the levels of total cholesterol in serum and thromboxane B2/TXB2/ in plasma was strong mainly in men (p less than 0.01). However, the association between atherogenic index /AI/ and TXB2 levels tended to be higher in women. The authors suggest that, in healthy adults, elevated cholesterol levels coexist with abnormalities in thromboxane metabolism.
