The mean value of total cholesterol, triglycerides, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-c), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) was significantly higher in patients clinically diagnosed for IHD as compared to the healthy control. High density cholesterol (HDL-c) was significantly low in IHD patients.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:&#10;justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;text-indent:.5in;line-height:normal;&#10;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:12.0pt;&#10;font-family:&quot;Andalus&quot;,serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
