Alkolik Hiperlipemi
Abstract
This study investigates the effect of alcohol on serum lipid fractions in two male patient groups: healthy individuals and chronic alcoholics. After oral alcohol intake, triglyceride levels rose proportionally with blood alcohol levels, especially in alcoholics. Total lipid levels also increased more significantly in the alcoholic group. Cholesterol values, however, showed no meaningful change. The findings suggest that alcohol may induce hypertriglyceridemia primarily by impairing lipid clearance in the peripheral circulation rather than by stimulating hepatic lipid secretion.
