[The cholesterol level in the peripheral blood lymphocytes: the interrelationship with ischemic heart disease in patients with different types of hyperlipidemia].

Variability of cholesterol levels inside lymphocytes (CLL) have been compared with the concentration of total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL of blood plasma among normal donors and hyperlipidemic patients. Persons with elevated CLL was found among normal donors and hyperlipidemic patients, each group comprising 4-5%. No significant correlation was followed between CLL & the level of total cholesterol, triglyceride & HDL blood plasma level among total observed population.
