Serum lipids and the cholesterol concentrations in the high density lipoprotein (HDL) fractions were measured in patients receiving long-term corticosteroid treatment for connective tissue disorders and asthma. Patients who were not receiving corticosteroid treatment had blood lipid levels which did not differ from those of healthy people. However, female (but not male) patients who had received prednisolone for a mean period of 3.1 years had a significant elevation in total cholesterol and a large decrease in HDL cholesterol. It seems possible that high levels of corticosteroids may increase the incidence of premenopausal ischaemic heart disease in females.
对因结缔组织疾病和哮喘接受长期皮质类固醇治疗的患者,测定了血清脂质及高密度脂蛋白(HDL)各组分中的胆固醇浓度。未接受皮质类固醇治疗的患者血脂水平与健康人无异。然而,平均接受泼尼松龙治疗3.1年的女性(而非男性)患者,总胆固醇显著升高,HDL胆固醇大幅降低。高水平的皮质类固醇可能会增加女性绝经前缺血性心脏病的发病率,这似乎是有可能的。
