“…The finding of lower lipid levels in individuals with infections in our study area is similar to what was found in Tsimane [24] or Shipibo [25] population. The lipids measured included HDL, which might seem surprising as decreased HDL level is considered to be a CVD risk factor.…”

“…A variety of blood lipids (total cholesterol, LDL, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs), high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), triglycerides), as well as albumin and glucose, are lower in sheep infected with the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica compared with uninfected sheep [142]. In humans, an inverse association between HDL-C and the density of infection by several parasitic worm species (hookworm, Strongyloides stercoralis , Trichuris trichiura ) was first documented among Amazonian Shipibo of Peru [118]. Hospital patients in Chandigarh, India, showed lower HDL-C if infected with entamoebic and giardia parasites [132].…”

“…In-vivo study has shown the decreased serum lipid levels in the Shipibo population (Peru), showed a significant inverse correlation between worm egg excretion and HDL levels in hookworm, Strongyloides and Trichuris infected patients but not in Ascaris infected cases [71]. The mechanisms underlying the observed association between intestinal worm load and HDL reduction are not completely understood and may include reduced HDL synthesis in the gut wall due to inflammatory toxic irritation.…”
