Abstract

Although changes in lipoprotein levels occur in a variety of inflammatory disorders, little is known about lipoprotein metabolism among septic patients. This study investigated the dynamics of plasma apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), as well as other inflammatory markers, in ICU patients with and without sepsis.
