Lipid­carbohydrate metabolism and nutrition in the indigenous and non­indigenous population of the north-east of Russia.

Scientific-research center «Arktika» far-eastern branch of the Russian academy of sciences, 685000, Magadan, Russia Young male residents ofMagadan region and Chukotsky Autonomous District aged 17-21, all are representatives of Russia’s northeast ethnic peoples were examined in comparison with Caucasoid subjects born in the north in the p>-2 generation to study the blood lipid and glucose values as well as the dietary structure. In order to ascertain the subjects ’ lipid and carbohydrate basic values, the CardioChek PA biochemical express-analyzer (USA) was used during the study of the capillary blood samples taken from the examinees on empty stomach, 10-12 hours after the last meal. Besides, the program set of “ASPON-nutrition” was used to analyze the subjects ’ daily diets for assessing their dietary structures and nutrition facts. All the examined subjects demonstrated the similar changes in lipid-carbohydrate profile resulted in low fat metabolism and high glucose close to the upper limit of physiological norm. Reliable ethnic and region-related peculiarities in the studied metabolic parameters were found. Of note, that Aboriginal subjects were the highest in the blood glucose. They showed higher values ofLPHD and lower values ofLPLD compared to those of Caucasoid subjects. Significant nutrition irrationalities such as imbalance in macronutrients and energetic deficiency were found. The observed diets contain excess carbohydrates and insufficient protein and fat saturation at lowered daily energetic value for the given age cohort.
