A comparative study of the lipid panel levels at different duration time and temperature storage

Abstract

Background: the stability of serum specimen during time storage is importance in clinical and medical science researches in addition of diagnosis. Lipids are organic molecules that classified into 8 classes: fatty acids, phospholipids, glycerolipids, saccharolipids, polyketides, prenol lipids, sterol, and sphingolipids. Lipid analysis (cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein) is a vital tool for diagnosis of numerous disease such as cardiovascular disease. follow-up the lipid profile progression is essential of numerous diseases. Methods: a 72 apparently healthy individual were participated in current study the serum sample was taken after 12-14 hours of fasting. The serum cholesterol, triglyceride, high density cholesterol, low density cholesterol, and very low-density cholesterol were determined. Results: there are no significant value found in all groups when compared to control except triglyceride that was significant after 24 hours of freezing.
