Investigation of serum calcium, phosphorus, albumine uric acid and lipid parameters in sportsmen and sedanters.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the differences in blood lipid fractions which are important risk factors for atherosclerosis and to show how the levels of serum albumin, uric acid, ionized calcium, inorganic phosphorus change with exercises between sportsmen and sedanters. 25 sportsmen and 25 sedanters (13 male, 12 female in each group) aged 18-23 were chosen for the study. From the venous blood samples taken from the two groups, levels of serum total lipid, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, albumin, uric acid, ionized calcium, inorganic phosphorus were analyzed. Student's t-test was used for the statistical analyses. There were some important changes in the levels of serum triglyceride, VLDL-cholesterol and ionized calcium of sportsmen compared to those of controls.
