Se determinaron los parámetros hematológicos de hemoglobina (Hb), hematocrito (Hto), número de glóbulos rojos (N.º GR) e índice de masa corporal (IMC), por los métodos de la Cianometahemoglobina, D´angelo and Lacombe, Hematimétrico e Índice de Quetelet, respectivamente, en doscientos adultos mayores de ambos sexos, con conocimiento informado, del distrito de Lima-Cercado, provincia y departamento de Lima, que acudieron al Servicio Académico Asistencial de Análisis Clínicos de la Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica de la UNMSM, en los años 2008 y 2009. Se obtuvieron los valores medios de Hb: 13,92 g/dL, Hto: 38,27 %, N.º de GR: 4,567 mill/mm3 para el grupo de sexo masculino, y Hb: 12.91 g/dL, Hto: 36.71 %, N.º de GR: 4,361mill/mm3, para el grupo de sexo femenino. De la población total, se halló que el 29 % tenía IMC normal; el 46,5 %, sobrepeso; y el 24,5 %, obesidad. Al...

Overweight and obesity are global public health problems that lead to a scenario of alterations in the concentration of circulating lipoproteins; in this scenario, the least studied apoAII and apoCIII have potential as predictors of stroke. The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of apolipoproteins (apoAII and apoCIII) under conditions of overweight and obesity. For this purpose, blood samples were taken from 72 volunteers of both sexes with an age range between 24 and 64 years who were overweight or obese with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 kg/m2; additionally, lipid profile, glucose, serum levels of apoAII, apoCIII, insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin were determined using specific kits following the manufacturer’s instructions. As a result, the average age was 47.3 years, 44.44% were obese, 34.72% were overweight and 20.83% had a normal BMI, with p=0.117, ...

Objective: To correlate the levels of thyrotropin with the levels of cholesterol and serum triglycerides in 250 healthy subjects and patients with subclinical thyroid dysfunction with a minimum fasting of 8 hours. Methodology: Analytical methods: total cholesterol, triglycerides: Enzyme-colorimetric and Thyrotropin: ELISA immunoenzymatic. Results: Thyrotropin was found in healthy subjects 88,68% in men and 89,34% in women, in patients with hyper thyroid dysfunction 1,89% for men and 1,52% for women, as well as hypo 9,43% for men and 9,14% for women. Cholesterol in healthy subjects for men is 49,06% and in women 67,01%; in patients with hyper thyroid dysfunction 50,94% for men and 32,99% for women. Triglycerides in healthy subjects 69,81% in men and 62,44% in women, in patients with hyper thyroid dysfunction 30,19% for men and 37,56% in women. Conclusions: A correlation was found between ...
