Abstract
Plasma homocysteine (9.05 ± 4.78 vs 5.93 ± 1.46μmol/L,
P<0.01), plasma fibrinogen (313.76 ± 80.02 vs 275.47 ±
53.77 mg/dL, P<0.01), serum total cholesterol (171.64 ±
35.48 vs 152.62 ± 25.40 mg/dL, P<0.01), serum LDL
cholesterol (109.51 ± 36.93 vs 87.6 ± 21.6 mg/dL, P<0.01)
and fasting blood sugar (99.89 ± 17.46 vs 90.29 ± 9.85 mg/
dL, P<0.01) were significantly higher in children (n=45) of
young adults (≤45 y) with coronary artery disease as
compared to control group (n=45). No significant
correlation was found for plasma homocysteine level of
children with that of their parents in either group, whereas
significant correlation was found for plasma fibrinogen of
children with their parents in both the groups.
