STUDYING OF LIPID PEROXIDATION , LIPID PROFILE AND ATHEROSCLEROSIS INDEX LEVELS IN SMOKER IN RAMADI CITY .

Abstract

The Study was carried out on a sample consisting of (60) persons ; (40) of them are smokers and (20) are non-smokers which considered as control group . It tries to explore the effect of smoking on the level of lipid per oxidation through determining MDA in the serum . Also , the effect of smoking on the lipid profile in serum and the possibility that smokers might be infected with atherosclerosis were study by determining Atherosclerosis index in the study sample . Results have shown a significant increase in the level of lipid per oxidation MDA (4.2μmol/L) in smokers in comparison with the non-smokers (2.1μmol/L) at p significant increase of both cholesterol , triglyceride , low density lipoprotein LDL and very low density lipoprotein VLDL in smoker which were (278mg/100ml) , ( 170 mg/100ml) , ( 204 mg/100ml) ,and (34 mg/100ml) respectively in comparison with the non-smoker which were (193 mg/100ml) , (114 mg/100ml) , ( 114 mg/100ml) and (22 mg/100ml) respectively of p other hand there has been a significant decrease of high density lipoprotein HDL in smoker (36 mg/100ml) in comparison with the non-smoker (57 mg/100ml) at p of atherosclerosis index we found that it significantly increase in smokers (7.7) in comparison with non-smoker (3.3) at p<0.05 .
