Serum lipid and lipoprotein profile in children with malabsorption: an approach to the recognition of atherosclerosis risk factors.
Serum lipoproteins, triglyceride, total cholesterol as well as HDL, LDL and VLDL-cholesterol were studied in 35 children, actually well nourished, who as infants suffered from malabsorption syndrome with severe malnutrition. If at the active stage of malabsorption some risk factors of atherosclerosis had been found, at the stage of realimentation no disturbances were encountered. The results did not significantly differ from those of the control group.
