Abstract
Investigations were carried out on serum lipid components and serum vitamin E in 54 cases of iron deficiency anemia during adolescence, with the following results: Serum levels of total lipids, free fatty acids, and phospholipids in cases of iron deficiency anemia were not different from those of the controls. Although the average value of serum total cholesterol levels in the cases of iron deficiency anemia was not different from that of the controls, the percentage of subjects who showed low serum total cholesterol levels was greater in cases of iron deficiency anemia than in controls. The average values of serum triglyceride, serum beta-lipoprotein, or serum vitamin E were significantly lower than those of the controls, and the percentage of subjects who showed low serum levels of triglyceride, beta-lipoprotein, or vitamin E was greater in cases of iron deficiency anemia than in the controls. No significant correlation was noted between serum levels of vitamin E and total cholesterol. However, a moderate correlation was noted between serum levels of vitamin E and triglyceride, and a direct correlation was noted between serum levels of vitamin E and beta-lipoprotein.
