Analysis of lipid profile in cancer patients, smokers, and nonsmokers

Abstract: Background:Lipids play an important role in maintaining the cell membrane integrity. Lipid profile is a panel of blood tests that serve as an initial medical screening for abnormalities in lipids and approximate risk for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, pancreatitis, etc., The present study evaluates the alterations in lipid profile in cancer patients, smokers, and nonsmokers and aims to achieve a correlation between them.Materials and Methods:The study is an in vitro type of cross-sectional study with 25 oral… Show more

“…The serum levels of these metabolites in patients with GC were considerably lower than those in patients with CG indicating a possible association between decreased TC, HDL-C, and ApoA1 levels with the progression of CG to GC. A decrease in the lipid profile in cancer patients may be due to increased utilization of lipids by neoplastic cells in membrane biogenesis, which is consistent with the findings of other studies (28,29). The results of untargeted metabolomic analysis and fasting lipid profile indicated that lipid metabolism may be associated with the development of CG to GC.…”

“…The decrease in lipid profile in cancer patients might be due to their increased utilization of lipids by neoplastic cells in membrane biogenesis. 34 The proportion of participants with dyslipidemia was increased at the six month visit but it was not significant when compared to baseline. There was a significant increase in mean LDL-c at the six month visit compared to its baseline mean value.…”

“…Alterations in serum levels of fatty acids and lipids between healthy individuals and lung cancer patients have also been observed, as dysregulation in fatty acid and lipid metabolism is very commonly observed in cancer (Table 1) (Reddy et al, 2016, Yeh et al, 2006, Hirsch et al, 2010, Zhang and Du, 2012, Currie et al, 2013). Serum levels of choline are commonly lowered in lung cancer patients as it is a precursor to membrane phospholipids, which are in high demand in proliferating tumors (Puchades-Carrasco et al, 2016).…”
