This study was aimed to access the variations in serum lipid parameters based on the prandial state of adult patients. Through a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study conducted in Parakou (Benin), from February 1 to May 1, 2020, 100 adult subjects (average age 31.21±12.36 years) were selected with systematic census. After ethical advice, a first sample was taken on empty-bellied adult subjects. Then, three additional samples were respectively taken two hours, four hours, and six hours after these subjects had eaten a meal of their choice. Serum lipid parameters were measured through enzymatic colorimetric methods. The average values of fasting lipid parameters in g/L were: Total cholesterol (1.48±0.35), HDL cholesterol (0.49±0.14), LDL cholesterol (0.84±0.36) and triglycerides (0.63±0.34). The comparison of the fasting and postprandial lipid parameters values is presented as follow: Triglyceridemia was significantly higher 2 h (P=0.000) and 4 h after meal (P=0.001). Only one type of food consumed was associated with mixed hyperlipidemia at six hours postprandial state (P=0.022). It may therefore be concluded that consumed foods do not cause most dyslipidemias 6 h in the postprandial state. During the screening for dyslipidemias in adults, the lipid profile can therefore be measured after six hours postprandial state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
