[The evaluation of a method for determining apolipoproteins as a sensitive indicator in assessing lipid metabolic disorder in a population at risk for essential arterial hypertension (EAHT)].

The increased efficiency of epidemiological screening tests in determining the prevalence of risk factors carriers required the use of highly sensitive markers able at detecting early, in reversible stages, the disturbances in the lipid metabolism genetically induced or acquired during lifetime, known as major risk factors for essential hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. The authors report the preliminary results of some investigations on the predictive value of apolipoproteins. Immunokits manufactured by BioMérieux--France were used. In 50 admitted patients with essential hypertension and family history of risk, high levels of apoA1 and apoB were recorded although cholesterol and other biological markers were within the normal. At the same time, in our case the apoB/apoA ratio was supraunitary, fact proving the validity of the method.

[Apolipoproteins-a cardiovascular risk factor within the context of syndrome X].

Apolipoprotein is now a new biochemical marker for evolution of atherosclerosis, even better than lipid fraction. We studied seric apolipoprotein A and B (Apo A, B) on 50 cases with complicated obesity, with ages between 37-52 years, and 15 males and 35 females. Selection criteria were: android constitution, obesity, essential hypertension (EHT). We also made statistical correlations on IBM PC compatible computer using chi-square test. We correlated glycoregulation abnormalities with body mass index (BMI > 25) with meaningfully value (p < 0.005) or with complicated EHT less meaningfully (p < 0.2). On this background, we appreciated the predictive value of seric levels of Apo A, B and Apo B/A ratio > 1. EHT correlates with low levels of seric Apo A very meaningfully (p < 0.0001) and this association is higher correlated when added ICD (P < 0.00001). There is no significant relationship between high levels of seric Apo B and EHT in our study, but it is significant for Apo B/A > 1 (p < 0.0001). EHT with seric cholesterol are not correlated (p:NS). Our conclusion is that seric Apo A and Apo B/A are statistical predictive risk factors for complicated EHT on android obese persons (X syndrome).
