The most desired values of high and low density

Abstract
Background: We tried to understand
the most desired values of high density
lipoproteins (HDL), low density lipoproteins
(LDL), and triglycerides in the plasma.
Methods:
Patients with plasma HDL values lower
than 40 mg/dL were collected into the
first, lower than 46 mg/dL into the second,
lower than 50 mg/dL into the third, and
50 mg/dL and higher into the fourth groups.
Results: We
studied 256 cases (153 females). The mean
age, female ratio, body mass index (BMI),
fasting plasma glucose (FPG), LDL, white
coat hypertension (WCH), hypertension
(HT), and diabetes mellitus (DM) were
the highest in the fourth group. Whereas
coronary heart disease (CHD) was the highest
in the first group in contrast to the
lowest HDL and LDL values. The mean age,
female ratio, BMI, FPG, WCH, DM, and CHD
were the lowest in the second group. There
was a positive correlation between plasma
triglycerides values and smoking.
Conclusions: The highest mean age, female
ratio, BMI, FPG, WCH, HT, and DM parallel
to the highest HDL and LDL, and the highest
CHD in contrast to the lowest HDL and
LDL values may show initially positive
but eventually negative acute phase proteins
functions of HDL and LDL. Due to the lowest
mean age, female ratio, BMI, FPG, WCH,
DM, and CHD, the most desired values of
HDL may be between 40 and 46 mg/dL. Additionally,
the most desired values of LDL were in
between 80 and 100 mg/dL, and the triglycerides
were lower than 60 mg/dL in our previous
studies.
Key words:
High density lipoproteins, low density
lipoproteins, triglycerides, acute phase
proteins, atherosclerosis, aging, metabolic
syndrome
