title: [Comparative studies on the lipid content of the cerebrospinal fluid and serum lipoprotein fractions in patients with discopathic changes].
abstract: The reported investigations were carried out in 12 subjects with low back pains caused by lumbar discopathy. The studied material were cerebrospinal fluid samples obtained during lumbar tap and blood obtained from the antecubital vein. In the fluid, serum and lipoprotein fractions the concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids were determined. It was found that the concentration of the lipids determined in the cerebrospinal fluid in patients with discopathy was not different from that demonstrated in healthy subjects. The lipid content of the fluid differed significantly from that of the serum but was very similar to the composition of lipids in the high density lipoprotein fraction (HDL). The summed up concentration of cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids was about 170 times lower than that in the HDL fraction.
