Observations of HDL Components in Female Probands Foliowing an Ultra-Long Distance Run of 100 Miles

Summary: The serum concentrations of total cholesterol and triglycerides äs well äs the cholesterol, phosphatidyl choline, and apolipoprotein components of HDL were tested in 19 participants immediately before and immediately after a 100-mile run. After the run, taking into account any alterations in total protein, the following changes were observed: a decrease in total cholesterol (p < 0.001), äs well äs in triglycerides (p < 0.05), and an increase in HDL cholesterol (p < 0.05), and HDL phosphatidyl choline (p < 0.01). The concentrations of HDL apolipoprotein A-I and HDL apolipoprotein A-II were not affected. The results indicate a change in composition of HDL following extreme prolonged physical exercise in women.
