Am. Mikhailov et al., ATHEROGENESIS IN BRONCHIAL-ASTHMA PATIENT S - RELEVANCE TO PATHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE DISEASE AND LIVER-FUNCTION (CLINICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS), Terapevticeskij arhiv, 65(12), 1993, pp. 58-60
Ten asthmatics in remission and aggravation of the disease were examin
ed for: lipoprotein pre-beta, beta and alpha fractions, total choleste
rol and its fractions in atherogenic and antiatherogenic lipoproteins
with estimation of the atherogenicity coefficient, activity of 5-hucle
otide hydrolase, acid phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and a
lcohol dehydrogenase. The results were indicative of more active ather
osclerotic process in the presence of blockade which changed the activ
ity of hepatocyte membrane lipoprotein receptors, of simultaneous oper
ation in bronchial asthma patients of infiltrative and cellular mechan
isms of atherosclerosis,
