Abstract
Background:
We tried to understand the safest values
of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in
the plasma.
Methods:
Patients with plasma HDL values lower
than 40 mg/dL were collected into the
first, lower than 50 mg/dL into the second,
and 50 mg/dL and higher into the third
groups, respectively.
Results:
The study included 256 cases (153 females
and 103 males), totally. Parallel to the
highest HDL values, the mean age, body
mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose
(FPG), low density lipoproteins (LDL),
white coat hypertension (WCH), hypertension
(HT), and diabetes mellitus (DM) were
the highest in the third group. Whereas
coronary heart disease (CHD) was the highest
in the first group in contrast to the
lowest HDL value. On the other hand, BMI,
FPG, DM, and CHD were the lowest in the
second group with the HDL values between
40 and 50 mg/dL in the plasma.
Conclusions:
The highest mean age, BMI, FPG, LDL,
WCH, HT, and DM parallel to the highest
HDL, and the highest CHD in contrast to
the lowest HDL values may show initially
positive but eventually negative acute
phase protein functions of HDL in the
metabolic syndrome. The lowest BMI, FPG,
DM, and CHD in the second group can also
support the idea. So the safest values
of HDL may be in between 40 and 50 mg/dL
in the plasma.
Key words: High
density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins,
negative acute phase proteins,
triglycerides, body mass index, smoking,
metabolic syndrome
