Abstract

Galya Naydenova Atanasova

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relations between Apo B/Apo, LDL/HDL and the metabolic syndrome. Apolipoprotein B, APO B/APO A1 ratio and the ratio LDL/HDL cholesterol can be used as indicators of metabolic syndrome. The ratios APO B/APO A1 and LDL/HDL cholesterol allow for more accurate risk assessment of metabolic syndrome.
