Study on the distribution of MN blood group system in the six caste populations of Tirupati (South India).

The MN blood group distribution was analysed in 600 individuals belonging to six caste groups of Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh, South India). the MN blood groups values are as follows: M = 36.00 to 45.00%, N = 10.00 to 16.00%, and MN = 43.00 to 51.00%. The frequency of the M-gene varies from 0.6050 to 0.6650, and that of the N-gene from 0.3350 to 0.3950. The intergroup differences are statistically not significant, indicating homogeneity of phenotype and gene distribution.

Distribution of ABO and Rh (D) blood groups among four endogamous groups of Andhra Pradesh.

The ABO and Rh (D) blood groups have been examined in 568 individuals of 4 endogamous groups, viz, Mala, Yerukula, Kapu and Vadagalai Ayangar Brahmin. In the ABO blood group system, all the other groups except for the Yerukula show the general Asiatic trend (O greater than B greater than A). All individuals examined among the Vadagalai Ayangar Brahmins were Rh (D)-positive. Other populations show a low frequency of d allele.

Serum lipid peroxides and lipids in urban and rural Indian men.

Serum lipid peroxides, lipids, blood pressure, body mass index, and dietary intake in 190 urban men were compared with 190 age-matched rural men. Significantly higher levels of lipid peroxides, serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides were seen in urban men, compared with rural men. In rural men, serum lipid peroxides were related negatively to age; the same was observed in the 70 + y age group in the urban population. All the lipid constituents were related positively to age in both populations. There were statistically significant correlations between lipid peroxides and serum cholesterol and triglycerides in the urban men. The marked elevation of lipid peroxides and lipids in urban men may be the result of urbanization, including exposure to environmental pollutants.
