Stanosz S, Kuligowski D, Zuk E, Rzechula D, Kosciuszkiewicz B, Chlubek D: The pattern of some lipid fractions in the serum of women chronically exposed to carbon disulfide. Ind Health. 1994;32(3):183-6.
The present study was performed in 307 women, aged 25 to 55 years (mean 42.7 +/- 4.7). The control group included 70 women, aged 42.1 +/- 3.5 years, who had previously had no contact with CS2. The study group included 237 women, age 42.9 +/- 5.1 years, chronically exposed to 5 to 7 ppm level of CS2, monitored daily using a spectrophotometric method. It was found that quantitative abnormalities in the lipid fractions of blood in women chronically exposed to CS2 appear after the age of 39 years. They were manifested by a significant increase in the serum levels of total cholesterol and LDL-Ch, and a decrease in HDL-Ch. No differences were noted as to the concentration of free fatty acids between both groups. |
