[Protein and lipid metabolic characteristics of persons in a hot climate]

A comparative investigation of the total protein, its fractions, total lipids, cholesterol, carotinoids, retinol, tocopherol in the blood serum of practically healthy persons (donors) was effected in different periods of the year. The proteinic and lipids metabolism rates in persons residing in conditions of a hot climate were found to change substantially, depending upon the season of the years. It is possible that, to a certain degree, this is due to a change in the nature of the nutritional pattern of these people under the effect of climate factors.
