Abstract

The plasma cholesterol, TG,LDG,HDL of 101 Korean hypertensive patients were measured to compare with plasma cholesterol, TG,LDL,HDL level of healthy people(control group).
The plasma cholesterol level in hypertensive patients was 189.6±39.5mg% and was 188.7±33.7mg% in healthy people(P>0.5).
The plasma TG level in hypertensive patients was 200.5±154.2mg% and was 116.1±32.4mg% in healthy people(P<0.05).
The plasma HDL level in hypertensive patients was 44.6±15.5mg% and was 45.1±9.8mg% in healthy people(P>0.05).
The plasma LDL level in hypertensive patients was 119.0±68.6mg% and was 98.1±53.4mg% in healthy people(P>0.05).
The serum level of the total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol in the hypertensive patients group were not significantly different from the control group, but the serum level of the TG was significantly increased in the patients group.
We thought that this difference of plasma TG level is due to exogenous TG in hypertensive patient group but further evalution in properties of TG is required.
