Abstract
Background: We
tried to understand the safest values
of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the
plasma.
Methods: Patients
with plasma LDL values lower than 80 mg/dL
were collected into the first, lower than
100 mg/dL into the second, lower than
130 mg/dL into the third, lower than 150
mg/dL into the fourth, and 150 mg/dL and
higher into the fifth groups.
Results:
The study included 815 cases (477 females),
totally. Parallel to the higher LDL values,
the mean age, body mass index (BMI), fasting
plasma glucose (FPG), triglycerides, high
density lipoproteins (HDL), and white
coat hypertension (WCH) were the highest
in the fifth and smoking, hypertension
(HT), and diabetes mellitus (DM) were
the highest in the fourth groups. Whereas
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD), coronary heart disease (CHD),
and chronic renal disease (CRD) were the
highest in the first group in contrast
to the lowest LDL and HDL values. Interestingly,
FPG, triglycerides, HT, DM, COPD, CHD,
and CRD were the lowest in the second
group, significantly, and there was no
difference according to the mean age and
smoking between the first and second groups,
significantly.
Conclusions:
The highest HT and DM parallel to the
increased LDL and HDL and the highest
COPD, CHD, and CRD in contrast to the
lowest LDL and HDL values may show initially
positive but eventually negative acute
phase proteins functions of LDL and HDL
in the metabolic syndrome. So the safest
values of LDL were between 80 and 100
mg/dL in the plasma.
Key words:
Low density lipoproteins, high density
lipoproteins, negative acute phase proteins,
triglycerides, body mass index, smoking,
metabolic syndrome
