Abstract :
<p> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">It is well known that chronic alcoholics have altered lipid profile. Alcohol ingestion produces changes in blood lipids as well as changes in liver lipids. The administration of alcohol causes elevation in plasma triglycerides. In present study we examined lipid profile in moderate and heavy alcohol drinkers. Present study is case control type in which fifty chronic alcoholics were selected and divided into two groups on the basis of amount and duration of alcohol consumption. Lipid profile measurement was done at fasting states which include cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C and VLDL-C. and findings were analyzed and compared with matched controls. Data were presented as mean±SD and t test is performed. The level of significance was taken as p values< 0.05. All lipid profile parameters are significantly higher in cases when compared with controls. Significant result was obtained when moderate drinkers were compared with heavy drinkers. Our findings show significantly altered lipid profile in moderate and heavy drinkers and increased risk of various disorders.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: 150%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
