Blood samples were collected in a fasting state and lipid parameters were estimated by Biosystem Kits using Spectrophotometer. The mean ± standard deviation of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL, HDL respectively in cases were (194±36.3, 95.8±29.0, 128.4±32.1, 19.1±5.8, 47.1±14.1). while the mean and standard deviation of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL, HDL respectively in control were (166.22±16.7, 86.1±12.6, 89.9±21.2, 17.22±2.53, 59.5±12.3).
