Abstract Introduction: Serum fasting lipid profile has been studied in various clinical spectrum of β-thalassemia syndrome. Premature cardiac impairment in thalassemia major (TM) appears primarily due to iron accumulation and oxidative injury; however it might be a sequel of abnormal lipoprotein concentrations. Recent studies revealed impaired lipid profile and atherosclerosis in TM as an emerging complication in patients with prolonged survival. As these children are at risk of premature atherosclerosis, sub clinical atherosclerosis probably begins early in their life might evolve into coronary heart diseases in later life. The rational of this prospective cross sectional study is to analyze the serum fasting lipid profile in cardiovascular disease free thalassemia major patients and to establish any correlation with age, gender, hematological parameters, liver enzymes and serum ferritin. Method: The study group comprises of thirty six patients with β-thalassemia major, who were enrolled from March 2012 to March 2014. Fasting blood lipid levels (total lipid, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL-cholesterol), liver function test and serum ferritin were measured in all study participants on Hitachi 912 through photometric assay (for lipid profile and liver function test) and by immunoturbidity methodology for serumferritin. Hematological parameters were determined by Cell Dyne Ruby (Abbot, Architect, USA). Patients were stratified in two groups, age ≤ 15 years and >15 years, to determine the possible lipid profile distinction in relation to increasing age. Results: Of the 36 patients, 17 were males (15.5±5.9 years) and 19 were females (10.1±4.5 years) with the mean age of 12.69±5.85 (range 5-24) years. Mean hemoglobin was 7.4±1.9gm/dl with the hematocrit of 23.1±5.7% while serum ferritin was markedly elevated 4699.7±3089ng/ml. The mean total lipid, cholesterol and triglycerides levels were 494.7 ± 114.5, 90.3 ±23.9 and 150.5±95.1 mg/dl respectively. High triglycerides were detected in 36.1%. While HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were markedly low 17.7±9.2 and 42.3±22.0 mg/dl respectively. The mean total cholesterol to HDL ratio was significantly elevated, 6.21± 3.06 (normal <5.0). In addition, total-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratios were increased irrespective of gender, that is 6.0±2.0 and 6.4± 3.8 in males and females respectively (P=0.6). Data analysis revealed that 22.2% females and 13.8% males had high triglyceride levels (P=0.05). No statistically significant difference was noted in two stratified age groups in respect to lipid profile (table-1). We established positive correlation of elevated total bilirubin with cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol (P<0.05). Cholesterol ratio was also significantly high in patients with hemoglobin > 8gm/dl (P<0.05). Low HDL cholesterol was correlated positively with LDL cholesterol levels. While no significant correlation of serum lipid could be established with age, gender, high ferritins and with liver enzymes. Conclusion: Our study revealed that lipid profile impairment is not unusual in β-thalassemia major patients irrespective of age. Considerable deficiency of high density cholesterol and significantly high total-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio may strongly be associated with occurrence of coronary heart disease in later life. We propose that lipid profile should be regularly done in these patients particularly those with hemoglobin > 8gm/dl and high total bilirubin levels. Whilst total to HDL ratio, underlines as a significant diagnostic marker for future cardiac events in these patients. Keywords: β-thalassemia major, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol.

Introduction: We established reference intervals for serum lipids in an apparently healthy adult population of Ambalappuzha North Grama panchayath in Alappuzha district of Kerala. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 447 apparently healthy individuals of both sexes aged between 18-75 years who attended a health camp organized by the Department of Biochemistry, Government T.D. MedicalCollege in association with the Ambalappuzha North Grama Panchayath.Samples were analyzed in a Beckman Clinical chemistry analyzer. Mean, standard deviation, median,90% condence limits for th th th median and central 95 percentile were calculated. The 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles formed the lower and upper reference limits of population. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS ver.16 software. Results:Reference interval for Total cholesterol was 132.2-262 mg/dl, for HDL-cholesterol 28.2-62 mg/dl ,for LDL-cholesterol 66.2-175 mg/dl, for triglyceride 65-218.8 mg/dl, for VLDL 13-43.8 mg/dl and Total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio 2.67 – 6.4.Reference intervals for Total cholesterol,LDL-cholesterol and Triglyceride were higher than the desirable limits suggested by NCEP ATP III guidelines and the reference intervals established by many studies. There was a gradual increase in these parameters with age up to 60 years. The reference intervals for HDLcholesterol were lower in both males and females. Total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were higher in females compared to males. Conclusion:There exists difference in reference intervals for various populations and hence there is a need for more population studies so that reference ranges for lipid parameters can be established which will help in better health care.

Abstract AIMS To critically evaluate the clinical implications of the use of non-fasting rather than fasting lipid profiles and to provide guidance for the laboratory reporting of abnormal non-fasting or fasting lipid profiles. METHODS AND RESULTS Extensive observational data, in which random non-fasting lipid profiles have been compared with those determined under fasting conditions, indicate that the maximal mean changes at 1–6 h after habitual meals are not clinically significant [+0.3 mmol/L (26 mg/dL) for triglycerides; −0.2 mmol/L (8 mg/dL) for total cholesterol; −0.2 mmol/L (8 mg/dL) for LDL cholesterol; +0.2 mmol/L (8 mg/dL) for calculated remnant cholesterol; −0.2 mmol/L (8 mg/dL) for calculated non-HDL cholesterol]; concentrations of HDL cholesterol, apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B, and lipoprotein(a) are not affected by fasting/non-fasting status. In addition, non-fasting and fasting concentrations vary similarly over time and are comparable in the prediction of cardiovascular disease. To improve patient compliance with lipid testing, we therefore recommend the routine use of non-fasting lipid profiles, whereas fasting sampling may be considered when non-fasting triglycerides are &gt;5 mmol/L (440 mg/dL). For non-fasting samples, laboratory reports should flag abnormal concentrations as triglycerides ≥2 mmol/L (175 mg/dL), total cholesterol ≥5 mmol/L (190 mg/dL), LDL cholesterol ≥3 mmol/L (115 mg/dL), calculated remnant cholesterol ≥0.9 mmol/L (35 mg/dL), calculated non-HDL cholesterol ≥3.9 mmol/L (150 mg/dL), HDL cholesterol ≤1 mmol/L (40 mg/dL), apolipoprotein A1 ≤1.25 g/L (125 mg/dL), apolipoprotein B ≥1.0 g/L (100 mg/dL), and lipoprotein(a) ≥50 mg/dL (80th percentile); for fasting samples, abnormal concentrations correspond to triglycerides ≥1.7 mmol/L (150 mg/dL). Life-threatening concentrations require separate referral for the risk of pancreatitis when triglycerides are &gt;10 mmol/L (880 mg/dL), for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia when LDL cholesterol is &gt;13 mmol/L (500 mg/dL), for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia when LDL cholesterol is &gt;5 mmol/L (190 mg/dL), and for very high cardiovascular risk when lipoprotein(a) &gt;150 mg/dL (99th percentile). CONCLUSIONS We recommend that non-fasting blood samples be routinely used for the assessment of plasma lipid profiles. Laboratory reports should flag abnormal values on the basis of desirable concentration cutpoints. Non-fasting and fasting measurements should be complementary but not mutually exclusive.

ABSTRACT Introduction Obesity is emerging as an epidemic worldwide. Obesity is associated with a number of comorbid conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cancer, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular abnormalities, anemia, obstructive sleep apnea, and psychosocial abnormalities. Aim This study aims at comparing the lipid profile levels of obese and nonobese men. Materials and methods This was a case—control study conducted at a tertiary care center. Totally, 80 men in the age group of 20 to 47 years attending the master health checkup were included in the study, out of which 40 men with normal body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 25 belonged to group I and 40 men with increased BMI of 30 and above belonged to group II. Lipid profile parameters, such as triglycerides (TGLs), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol were estimated in them. The data were statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 15.0. Results Statistically significant difference was found in the total cholesterol levels with a p-value of 0.040 while the difference in LDL cholesterol was statistically highly significant with a p-value of 0.040. Conclusion Among lipid profile parameters, only total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol showed significant difference between the obese and nonobese individuals. However, the other parameters like HDL cholesterol and TGLs did not show any significant difference. How to cite this article Babu SV, Jagadeesan AR, Ramalingam J.

Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel contains anthocyanin, fiber and vitamin C, so it can be used to improve lipid profile in dyslipidemia. The peel of the dragon fruit is not durable, so in this study we used freeze-dried dragon fruit peel. The aim of this study was to prove that the administration of the red dragon fruit peel in a dose of 0.72 g/200 g BW, 1.08 g/200 g BW, and 1.44 g/200 g BW of rat per day for 28 days may improve lipid profile in male wistar strain white rats with high-fat diet. Lipid profiles were studied by examining of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. This was a pure experimental study using randomized post test only control group design. This study used experimental animal of 30 male wistar strain white rats which were divided into five groups. Measurements of total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol levels were done by CHOD-PAP method, while triglyceride level was measured with GPO-PAP method. Data were analyzed statistically by One Way Anova test. The results of this study indicated that giving the peel of red dragon fruit as much as 0.72 g lowered total cholesterol levels, 1.08 g lowered total and LDL cholesterol levels, and 1.44 g lowered total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and raised HDL cholesterol level. Red dragon fruit peel can be used alternatively to improve lipid profile in dyslipidemia.
