Abstract EN
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the concentration of serum triglyceride, cholesterol and cholesterol profile in Sudanese obese women.
Materials and Methods: Case – control study included Sudanese women in Wad Medani – Gezira State, Central Sudan, in period from March to May 2011.
A total of 100 Sudanese obese women were compared with 100 non obese women as control group.
Serum samples were taken and cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and HDL levels were analyzed using colorimetric methods.
Results: The (mean ± SD) serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL in non obese women were 131.85±35.82 mg/dl, 166.86±27.52 mg/dl, 56.32±38.30 mg/dl, 113.75±25.94 mg/dl, while that of obese women, the (mean ± SD) of serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL were 168.52 ± 48.30 mg/dl, 222.65 ± 24.95 mg/dl, 56.88 ± 7.46 mg/dl, 138.15 ± 35.53 mg/dl, respectively.
Serum level of triglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL is significant elevated in obese women when compared with their control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: This study concluded that, the obesity causes significant increase of serum triglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL.
