Cholesterol and triglyceride levels in HDL are compared in diabetics and coronary patients. Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism are compared by universal manual and semiautomated methods. Measurements of individual components of the serum and of HDLP fraction in both groups showed that HDL fraction is rich in triglycerides in both diseases, that is, HDL are modified and acquire a certain role in triglyceride metabolism. Measurements of triglycerides and cholesterol in HDL fraction helps detect structural disorders in this fraction in diabetics and coronary patients; this method is more informative than measurements of total cholesterol in the blood.
