Blood plasma was examined in 56 male subjects who suddenly died from coronary heart disease (CHD). Along with quantitative changes, qualitative disturbances of lipids of blood plasma lipoproteins are found in CHD. In different lipid fractions (triglycerides, cholesterol esters, total and individual phospholipids) of very low, low and high density lipoproteins the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids decreases, and correspondingly, the quota of monounsaturated and saturated acids grows. The phenomenon is evidently conditioned by an increasing requirement for the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. The latter is due to a higher concentration of lipids of blood plasma lipoproteins in CHD. |
