Popis: Serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL and HDL cholesterol levels were determined in a group of 442 apparently healthy Lebanese subjects after a 12 hr fast. Age-dependent increase was noted for total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. On the other hand, VLDL and HDL cholesterol levels were age-independent. In addition, sex differences were noted for HDL cholesterol only. Our findings for total cholesterol and triglycerides are comparable with values reported by other authors, while values for LDL and VLDL are significantly different.
