“…The magnitude of difference in adjusted HDL2-C between smokers and non-smokers was 20.5% in the present study, which is lower than that in a previous study using women (27.2%). This could be due, at least in part, to the fact that women tend to show higher HDL-C than men 14) . It could be hypothesized that those subjects with higher initial HDL2-C tend to exhibit a greater decrease in this parameter with CS.…”

“…In a previous study using young Japanese women 13) , we reported that smokers had significantly lower mean HDL-C, HDL2-C, total cholesterol (TC), and LCAT activity than non-smokers. Because sex differences exist in serum lipids and lipoproteins, for example, women tend to show higher HDL-C and lower triglyceride (TG) levels than men 14) , we may obtain different results if we use men. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of CS with HDL-C subfractions and LCAT activity in Japanese collegiate men.…”

MATERIALS AND METHODS 1. Subjects and self-administered questionnaire Collegiate men were recruited from 2 universities and consented to the study procedure after explanation of the purpose of the study. They were not on any medication at the time of their participation in the study. The body weight and height were measured with the subjects in underwear to the nearest 0.1 kg and 0.1 cm, respectively. The body mass index (BMI) is expressed as weight/height 2 (kg/m 2). Smokers were eligible if they had smoked for at least 3 months. Twenty-six current smokers volunteered, who were individually matched for age (within ±0.5 years) and BMI (within ±0.5 kg/m 2) with 26 non-smokers who had never smoked. The study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of the university. Informed consent was obtained from each participant.
