Role of lipids and free radicals in diabetic with hypertension and smokers for causation of coronary heart disease
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: The major independent risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis are the plasma cholesterol concentration, triglyceride, cigarette smoking, hypertension and diabetes, which are by them self’s risk factor for coronary heart disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) threatens to cripple India’s workforce and stunt India’s growth if timely and appropriate public health measures are not instituted. Hyperglycemia, hypertension and cigarette smoking depletes natural antioxidants and facilitates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which has the ability to react with all biological molecules and exert cytotoxic effects on cellular components that promotes and accelerate atherosclerosis. Hence the present study was aimed to find out collective effect of NIDDM, hypertension and cigarette smoking on lipid profile and oxidative stress in progression of CHD events. Materials and methods: We studied 50 healthy and 50 diabetes with hypertension and or smokers patients (i. e. had two or more CHD risk factors) patients with matched for age and body mass index. Blood samples were drawn after an overnight fast. We estimated serum triglycerides,total cholesterol, HDL-c and LDL-c and VLDL- c values were calculated by Friedwald’s equation. We also estimated the total serum lipid peroxides by reaction with thiobarbituric acid. Results: In the control group I mean values of total cholesterol were 180.21 ± 18.13 mg %, LDL-c 106.60 ±18.2 mg%, serum triglycerides were 99.90 ± 16.14 mg %, HDL-c were 53.83 ± 16.42mg% and in the group II serum triglycerides 217.9 ± 19.1 mg% and were significantly increased as compared to group I. The serum HDL-c group II 29.6 ± 8.07mg % were significantly decreased as compared to group I (P is<0.05). The serum lipid peroxides in the group 2nd (296.9.±60.10) were significantly increased as compared to group 1st (180.96±35.16). Conclusion: It can be concluded that patients of NIDDM with hypertension, smoking have higher total serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum lipid peroxides (MDA), LDL- c and VLDL-c with lower HDL- c. These can be corrected, treated by dietary and life style modification before the development of end organ damage. For realization of exact role of lipid profile and oxidative stress further higher level studies should be done.
