“…Although in 2 studies before 1960 (Thomas, 1958;Karvonen et al, 1959) men who smoked tobacco had higher serum concentrations of total cholesterol than did non-smokers, results are in agreement with those of 2 more recent studies (Pozner and Billimoria, 1970;Enger et al, 1977) which showed the mean serum cholesterol concentration of male smokers to be no higher than that of non-smokers. Erikssen, Hellem and Stormorken (1977) found a small but highly statistically significant increase in 'platelet adhesiveness' in smokers as compared with non-smokers when the former were tested at least 12 hr after the last cigarette was smoked.…”

“…Thus low levels of HDL-cholesterol were implicated in cases of coronary heart disease, and they are reduced in obesity (Wilson and Lees, 1972) and cigarette smoking (Pozner and Billimoria, 1970), but may be increased in women by some types of oral contraceptives (Krauss et al, 1977). Exercise has been reported to increase HOL concentrations in plasma.…”

Eleven unfit bank executives in sedentary employment exercised daily for 10 weeks according to the Canadian Air-Force 5BX Exercise Programme. Over this period no changes were observed in the glucose or insulin responses to a standard breakfast or to intravenous glucose, or in the glucose response to intravenous insulin. There was a significant reduction in high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, but total plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels were unaffected by exercise.

“…The substance fractions HDL-TC/TC and HDL-PL/PL were, as a consequence, higher in the women than in the man. normo-and hyperlipidaemia [6,12,15,21,23,271, obesity [21], sedentary life-style 191, and possibly to smoking [4,9,12,23,25]. We found no differences in the TG, VLDL-TG or VLDL-TC concentrations between the male and female subjects with type IIa.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate sexual differences regarding lipoprotein concentrations and compositions, and the cholesterol esterification rate in subjects with type IIa hypercholesterolaemia. Twenty men and 33 women with type IIa hyperlipoproteinaemia, asymptomatic as regards ischaemic heart disease were investigated. Total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and phospholipids (PL) were measured in plasma and in the very-low-density (VLDL), low-density (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) fractions. The cholesterol esterification rate was determined in plasma in vitro. In comparison with the male group the females had higher concentrations of TC and PL in the HDL, leading to higher ratios of HDL-TC/LDL-TC and HDL-PL/LDL-Pl in the females group. The cholesterol esterification rates were equal in the sexes. However, relations between the cholesterol esterification rates and lipoprotein concentrations and between cholesterol esterification rates and overweight were not equal in the sexes. The higher HDL-TC concentration and HDL-TC/DL-TC ratio in women than in men with type IIa might partly explain the lower female morbidity in cardiovascular disease.
