Changes in serum amyloid A, plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I as useful biomarkers for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
Abstract:Introduction. In recent years, cholesterol has received interest in the study of infection due to evidence of a relationship between low plasma cholesterol levels and tuberculosis (TB).
Hypothesis/Gap Statement. Plasma lipid profiles of serum amyloid A (SAA), apolipoprotein A-I and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are biomarkers associated with symptomatic TB patients.
Objective. We aimed to evaluate plasma lipid profiles of apolip… Show more
