Description
Summary:The study was focused on circadian dynamics of lipid profile in Polar North oil industry shift-workers with arterial hypertension (AH). In total, 95 AH patients (Group I - 53 individuals working daytime; Group II - 42 participants working night-time), were examined. Significantly higher levels of total cholesterol (TC), low and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, VLDL-C), triglycerides (TG), as well as decreased high-density С (HDL-C) level, were observed in night-working participants. AH in night-working Polar North inhabitants is an additional risk factor of atherosclerosis.
