title: Lipid peroxidation and change of plasma lipids in acute ischemic stroke.
abstract: An estimation was made of the changes of the plasma lipid components and of the level of lipid peroxidation in acute ischemic stroke either as a transient accident (TLA) or as a cerebral vascular accident (CVA). The level of serum triglycerides was found significantly increased in the patients with CVA, in correlation with a decrease of the total HDL values due to the decrease of the HDL subfraction. As compared with the control group the LDL/HDL ratio presented increased values due to the decrease of the serum HDL concentration (respectively of the HDL2). The lipid peroxidation presented a more marked increase in patients with transient ischemic accident.
