    Abstract:
    We investigated the interrelationship between plasma insulin levels, various lipoproteins and coronary artery disease. No significant differences were observed on comparing patients with controls for plasma insulin, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood sugar levels and triglyceride levels. However patients showed significantly higher levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol compared with controls. No significant differences were observed on comparing patients of multivessel disease with single vessel disease in serum insulin or various lipid subfractions. In addition, there was no correlation between serum insulin quartiles and various biochemical parameters. In conclusion, in this cross-sectional study plasma insulin levels failed to show any significant association with severity and extent of coronary artery disease. Further there was no correlation of various lipid parameters with insulin quartiles.
