Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study was to determine Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); levels of healthy people and assess the risk of coronary atherosclerosis in terms of lipid values and Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a);. Methods: Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); was measured by an Elisa method, while other lipid parameters were assayed enzymatically with an autoanalyzer. Results: Mean levels, standard deviation, and median of Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); were found to be 23.9±26.3 mg/dl, 14.3 mg/dl respectively. Five and 95 percentile values for Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); were found to be 0 and 82.2 mg/dl. Twenty- four percent of our study group had Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); value above 30 mg/dl. Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); frequency distribution of our group is skewed to the left. Conclusion: Mean value for Lpinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); of our pilot study group is quite high when compared to other populations and we plan to screen a much larger group.
