title: Comparative effects of propranolol and prazosin upon serum lipids in thiazide- treated hypertensive patients.
abstract: Earlier reported thiazide-induced changes in serum lipid concentrations were confirmed with increased triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. However, lipoprotein cholesterol ratios were unchanged. Propranolol caused further increases in triglyceride and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and lowered high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the high-density lipoprotein:total cholesterol ratio. With the addition of prazosin to the polythiazide regimen, there was a significant increase in serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol when compared with the placebo.
