The present work was carried out to compare the effects of age andantihypertensive therapy on lipid profile in hypertensive and normotensive individuals. A total of 150 individuals were used for the study.100 hypertensive under therapy were used and 50 normotensive served as control. Serum lipid (Cholesterol (T -chol) , triglyceride (TG), Phospholipids (PL),High density lipoprotein( HDL-chol ), Low density lipoprotein( LDLchol)and very low density lipoprotein (VLD L- chol) were biochemical parametersmonitored. The normotensive studied had mean age of 50 + 11 years and blood pressure of 117 + 6 / 77+ 6 mmHg. The hypertensive had mean age of 55 + 10 years and blood pressure of 177+25 /103 + 10 mmHg.The study revealed that there was a highly significant effect of age on total cholesterol in hypertensive than normotensive individuals .The mean totalcholesterol (T -chol) and triglyceride (TG) were (156+11, and 59 + 4) mg/dl respectively for the normotensives; and hypertensive the means were 166 + 13 for the T –chol and 66+ 7 mg/dl for triglyceride (P |
