Summary:
30 diagnosed cases (Male26, Female 4) of MI (myocardial
infarction) with the mean age of 55.5±9.8 years (range 40-
70 years) were included in a case control study to evaluate
their apoprotein status. Serum apoA1 and apoB were
measured and compared with those of age and sex
matched healthy control subjects. Mean serum apoA1
concentration found significantly low in MI cases (
91.84± 11.2 mg/dl) compared to control ( 123.2±10.5
mg/dl ) and that of apoB found significantly high in MI
cases( 135.3± 23.0 mg/dl ) compared to control (66.2±10.0
mg/dl).Serum apoB/apoA1 ratio of MI cases (1.49±0.3)
