Author(s): Franklin G Greens*
The point of the current review was to evaluate the relationship among cigarette
smoking and the adjustment of plasma grouping of cardiovascular markers.
Methods: The study included 20 healthy, age-matched male smokers and 20
cigarette smokers. Estimates were made of homocysteine, C-reactive protein, fasting
cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein
(LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels in the blood. Results Cigarette
smokers had significantly higher serum total homocysteine and C-reactive protein
levels than non-smokers (p 0.001). The total cholesterol / HDL ratio, triglycerides,
LDL, VLDL, and fasting serum levels were found to be significantly higher in
smokers than in nonsmokers (p 0.001). However, the concentration of fasting HDL
was significantly lower in smokers than in nonsmokers (p 0.001)... Read More»
