Abstract
The evaluation of the levels of plasma cortisol, blood glucose, total serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides was undertaken in 135 (50 co ntrol, 40 irritable bowel syndrome and 45 essential hypertension) subj ects in order to investigate the pattern of physiological changes in s tressed clinical states with respect to normal controls. The findings suggest that pronounced elevations in the atherogenic lipids (choleste rol and triglycerides) in hypertensives could be the antecedent of fur ther cardiovascular complications.
