Serum Lipids and Lipoproteins Changes During Three Weeks of Abstinence in Patients with Alcohol Dependence
INTRODUCTION
Lipoproteins are hydrophilic macromolecular complexes of lipids and proteins of spherical form and represent a transport form of lipids in the circulation. Proteins in lipids are called apoproteins. Using the ultra-centrifuge six fractions of lipoproteins can be separated, namely hilomicrons, lipoproteins of very low (VLDL), medium (IDL), low (LDL and high (HDL) density and Lp(a) lipoproteins. Among the conditions connected with the lipoproteins metabolism disorders, the most significant are arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke as the most frequent complications.1,2 Alon...See the full content of this document
