Evaluation of correlation between oxidative stress and abnormal lipid profile in coronary artery disease

Abstract

 Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of sudden death, and death of men and women over 20 years of age. The aim of the study was to know if there is any linear correlation between oxidants and abnormal lipid profile parameters in CAD. Materials and Methods: The present study includes 42 known CAD cases (age = 41–75 years) and 33 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Malondialdehyde (MDA), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triacylglyceride were measured and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol was calculated in both cases and controls, respectively
