Certain phosphate compounds in the erythrocytes of patients with primary hyperlipidaemia.

The investigations were carried out in 30 patients with primary hyperlipidaemia (hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia and mixed form). The serum total cholesterol and triglycerides, and in the erythrocytes the levels of AMP, ADP, ATP, ATP complex with Fe, MP, HDP and DGP were determined. Twenty blood donors served as a control group. The obtained results showed a statistically highly significant rise in ADP concentration in all investigated subgroups of hyperlipidaemic subjects, and a non-significant quantitative shift of other determined phosphate compounds.
