  • Title: Blood plasma apolipoproteins A-I and B in different types of hyperlipoproteinaemia: comparative analysis of population groups in Moscow and Prague.
    Author: Metel'skaya VA, Ceska R, Perova NV, Sobra J.
    Journal: Cor Vasa; 1988; 30(3):168-76. PubMed ID: 3139364.
    Abstract:
    The level of blood plasma apolipoproteins A-I and B was studied in Moscow and Prague residents with different types of hyperlipoproteinaemia (HLP). The analysis proceeded in two directions. On the one hand, lipoprotein (LP) spectra in residents of both cities with the same type of LP disturbance (HLP type IIa, IIb or IV) were compared; in Prague lipid and apolipoprotein content was compared in inhabitants with a normal lipid level and those with HLP types I, III and V. The analysis showed that inhabitants of Prague with types II and IV HLP have a higher concentrations of high density LP cholesterol. At the same time, it was found that the apolipoprotein profile of blood plasma LP in HLP patients was similar to that in patients living elsewhere. The authors regard comparative study of LP system disturbances in residents of different cities and countries differing in their geographical, ethnic and ecological conditions as a promising approach to understanding the mechanisms responsible for the development of HLP.
