The present work studies lipid metabolism in patients with algodystrophy (AD). A correct positive correlation (r = 0.75) between the triglyceride levels and low density lipoprotein (LDL)/very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) ratio and the VLDL increase observed by gel disk electrophoresis confirm that a type IV hyperlipoproteinemia is associated with AD. In contrast, the degree of high density lipoprotein (HDL) saturation in cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol/HDL-phospholipids) and the classical atherogenous index (cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol) were not modified. The decrease of plasma post-heparin lipolytic activities (PHLA) was not significant but further studies should be performed to correlate PHLA with a reduced activity of the adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase.
