A Correlation Study Prolidase Activity and Lipid Profile in Sera of Patients With Cardiac Diseases

Abstract

Cardiac diseases were the main causes of different biochemical changes
which mostly leads to death in over the world. This study was aimed to
study the correlation between prolidase activity and heart diseases. Eighty
five sera samples (male and female) sera samples (male and female) for
patients with heart disease were collected from the center of heart diseases
in Erbil. As a control group 45 samples of healthy individuals were
collected
The level of prolidase activity, Lipid profile [Total cholesterol, , High
density lipoprotein- Cholesterol (HDL), Triglycerides (TG), Low density
lipoprotein- cholesterol (LDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein
(VLDL)] were determined in sera of groups under investigation, and the
results showed:
The levels of Prolidase activity cholesterol, triglycerides, VLDL and
LDL-C were significantly increased in sera of patients with Cardiac disease
as compared with control group. While the HDL-C decreased significantly
(p≤0.05) in sera of patients as compared with controlled group.
Prolidase was positively correlate with total cholesterol, triglycerides,
HDL-C and LDL-C in sera of patient group.
