  • Title: Serum elastase-type enzymes and their correlation to blood lipids in male patients with atherosclerosis.
    Author: Landi A, Bihari-Varga M, Keller L.
    Journal: Acta Med Hung; 1991; 48(3-4):203-10. PubMed ID: 1822858.
    Abstract:
    Serum elastase-type activity, elastase inhibitory capacity and their relation to lipids were examined in 140 male patients with ischaemic vascular disease (coronary, cerebral, peripheral) and in 60 control subjects. Serum elastase-type activity was found to be significantly lower, inhibitory capacity significantly higher, in the groups of patients than in the controls. HDL- and HDL2 cholesterol as well as apo A concentration showed significant negative correlation with elastase inhibitory capacity both in atherosclerotic and in control subjects.
