Abstract
Fifty biopsy proven cancer cases were studied after excluding liver and kidney disorders for changes in lipids metabolism with special reference to fasting serum cholesterol and its relation to retinal and B carotene. Pretreatment cholesterol was measured to be 172.92 mg/dl, as compared with control 213.86mg/dl, where as retinol was 25.37 ug/dl and b carotene was 37.96 ug/dl as compared with control 39.9ug/dl and 54.3ug/dl respectively. (Inverse relationship of serum cholesterol to mortality from cancer has been observed in many types of cancers. Cancer rates have been found to be highest amongst persons with the lowest levels of serum retinol. We have tried to find out the rleationship between cholesterol and vitamin A).
