Why the study?
Does major surgical trauma alter serum lipoproteins and apolipoprotein T concentrations over time in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery?
Does major surgical trauma alter serum lipoproteins and apolipoprotein T concentrations over time in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery?
Major surgical trauma induces significant, time-dependent decreases in VLDL and LDL cholesterol and a rapid, sustained increase in apolipoprotein T.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Post-op lipid shifts may confound early assessments after AAA repair; leaves open apolipoprotein T as a trauma biomarker for future study.
Lindh et al. (1986) studied this question.
