Key result
Chronic nonspecific inflammation of the reproductive system was associated with significant lipid metabolism disruptions, including increased atherogenic dyslipoproteinemias and elevated total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides.

Chronic nonspecific inflammation of the reproductive system is associated with pro-atherogenic dyslipoproteinemia and altered non-specific immune reactivity, highlighting a potential increased risk for atherosclerosis.

May indicate elevated atherosclerosis risk in chronic reproductive inflammation; leaves open causal mechanisms and need for prospective studies.
Metabolic disorders can occur at all levels of biological organization - from molecular and cellular to the level of the organism as a whole. These changes may result from disruptions in hormonal mechanisms, actions of pathogenic factors, or infections. Primary metabolic disorders are the basis of many diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, and atherosclerosis, while secondary disorders accompany most pathological processes. Disruption of lipid metabolism leads to changes in their functions and the development of pathological processes, such as dyslipoproteinemia, and also contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. Various intracellular infectious agents play a significant role in the development of dyslipoproteinemias and atherosclerosis, for example, chlamydia can alter the lipid metabolism in macrophages under the influence of low-density lipoproteins, leading to the formation of 'foam-like' cells. This, in turn, contributes to the development of atheromatous plaques-a favorable environment for chlamydia, where it can survive for an extended period and trigger immunopathological mechanisms.

Sokolovskaya et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic nonspecific inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system (n=257). Chronic nonspecific inflammation of the reproductive system vs. Clinically healthy individuals was evaluated on Lipid metabolism parameters and dyslipoproteinemia types (p=<0.05). Chronic nonspecific inflammation of the reproductive system was associated with significant lipid metabolism disruptions, including increased atherogenic dyslipoproteinemias and elevated total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides.
