Abstract:

 Background: We tried to understand the significance of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in metabolic syndrome.Methods: Patients with plasma HDL values lower than 50 mg/dL were collected into the first and 50 mg/dL and higher into the second groups.Results: There were 183 patients in the first and 73 patients in the second groups. Although the male ratio (49.7 versus 16.4%, p<0.001), smoking (32.7 versus 17.8%, p<0.01), plasma triglycerides values (162.7 versus 134.5 mg/dL, p= 0.005), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (16.9 versus 10.9%, p<0.05) decreased, the mean age (45.6 versus 51.8 years, p= 0.002), body mass index (BMI) (26.8 versus 29.3 kg/m2, p= 0.013), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (110.8 versus 134.1 mg/dL, p= 0.02), low density lipoproteins (LDL) (119.6 versus 135.3 mg/dL, p<0.001), white coat hypertension (WCH) (26.2 versus 36.9%, p<0.05), hypertension (HT) (13.6 versus 28.7%, p<0.001), and diabetes mellitus (DM) (15.3 versus 23.2%, p<0.05) increased by the increased plasma HDL values (40.4 versus 58.2 mg/dL, p<0.000), significantly. Whereas coronary heart disease did not change, probably due to the effects of smoking on the first, and aging and excess weight on the second groups.Conclusions: Though the decreased male ratio, smoking, plasma triglycerides values, and COPD, the mean age, BMI, FPG, LDL, WCH, HT, and DM increased by the increased plasma HDL values, HDL may act in a similar direction with LDL in the metabolic syndrome.
