Abstract
Effects of mild exercise therapy on serum lipids (TC, TG, PL and HDL-C) and apoproteins (Apo A-I, A-II, B, C-II, C-III and E) were examined in 25male patients with hyperlipidemia (n=16), coronary artery disease (n=11) and hypertension (n=11). Mild exercise program consisted of the exercise intensity of WBPLA1, 60minutes/time and 3times/week for 10 weeks. Serum levels of HDL-C and total cholesterol increased following exercise therapy (p<0.1) and the changes were significantly correlated (r=0.52, p<0.02). Serum levels of phospholipid and Apo E were significantly elevated following exercise therapy (p<0.001, p<0.05). There were no changes in TG and apoproteins (A-I, A-II, B, C-II and C-III). Those who had higher levels of TG and lower levels of HDL-C before exercise therapy showed a little increase in HDL-C levels following exercise therapy compared to those of lower TG and higher HDL-C levels. Patients with hypertension showed a little increase in HDL-C levels following exercise therapy compared to those without. There were significant correlation between changes of HDL-C and Apo A-I following exercise therapy (r=0.42, p<0.04).
