Hypercholesterolemia has been shown to be a consequ- ence of dietary copper (Cu) deficiency in experime- ntal animals. There are several biochemical changes in Cu deficiency. We examined the lipid level, sup- eroxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSHPx), ceruloplasmin (Cp) and plasma Cu and Zn levels in hyperchoesterolemic subjects (N=23, TC >240 mg/dl)、 borderline-hypercholesterolemic subjects (N=31, 200 ≦TC< 240mg/dl) and control subjects (N=25,TC<200mg /dl). Total cholesterol、TG and LDL-C levels appeared to be higher than normal in hypercholesterolemic pa- tients (p<0.05). However,the SOD、Cp and Zn levels in hypercholesterolemic subjects didn't significantly differ from control. Hypercholesterolemic subjects had lower Cu level than control' s ( p<0.05 ). As a result,lipids levels were not related to plasma Cu 、SOD and Cp among the three groups.Plasma GSHPx levels was positively correlated with SOD、Cp value in control subjects (r=0.40,r=0.45 p<0.05), but no correlation in hypercholesterolemic subjects was found. Results of semiquantitative food frequency questio- nnaire (FFQ) showed that intake of fatty meat was higher in hypercholesterolemic subjects than control, but the intake of crude fiber of fruits and leafly -vegetable had significant reverse relationship(p <0.05). The score test of nutritional knowledge in hypercholesterolemic subjects were lower than the other two groups (p<0.05).
