title: [Changes of serum lipids and high density lipoprotein levels in patients with bronchial asthma].
abstract: Serum lipid levels of 60 cases of bronchial asthma (males 30, females 30) were compared with 161 (males 91, females 70) controls. Serum cholesterol, triglyceride, Apo A1, A2, B, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL VLDL, and atherosclerotic index (T-chol. HDL-chol/T-chol.) were measured. Asthma cases slowed low levels of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, VLDL and Apo B compared to the control group, while HDL-C, ApoA2 were higher than the control group. (p less than 0.05). The atherosclerotic index was low in the asthma group. A patient who had a 9-year history of asthma showed decreased HDL-C and increased T-cholesterol, on improvement of asthma attack and body weight loss.
