Hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) was detected in 67.3% of 118 males without CHD (with the mean age of 44.7 years) engaged in intellectual occupations. The excessive body weight in this group was twice higher, and blood insulin 1.5 times higher, while the STH levels twice lower as compared to patients with normolipoproteinemia (NLP). The mean concentrations of ACTH, cortisol, T3, T4 in both groups were equal and did not exceed normal. In males with the II A type of HLP versus those with the II B and IV types, the excessive body weight and blood cortisol content were 1.5 times as low but testosterone levels were 1.5 times as high and approached those in individuals with NLP.
