title: [Lipid status in extreme obesity].
abstract: 50 extremely obese women < 35 years of age (their height 164 cm, weight 107 kg, BMI 40) were analyzed in this paper. Following lipidic and lipoprotein parameters were determined: total triglycerides, total HDL-, LDL-cholesterol, electrophoresis of serum's lipoproteins, and in the third of patients the level of apoproteins. AI, AII and B. In all patients the level of glycemia on an empty stomach was determined. Gathered results were compared with those of the control group which consisted of 32 metabolically healthy women of corresponding age. On the basis of gathered results it can be concluded that in extremely obese women the level of numerous atherogenic lipidic fractions such as total triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and apoprotein B was statistically significantly increased, while the level of protective HDL-cholesterol was statistically significantly decreased. Results of this investigation point to the common connection between obesity and disorder of metabolism considering lipids and lipoproteins which result in increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases in obese persons.
