We examined the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication on
lipids and apolipoproteins in 87 patients with duodenal ulcers. A
significant increase was observed in high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
cholesterol (+24.7%, p <0.001), apolipoprotein AI (+9.0%, p <0.001), and
apolipoprotein AII (+11.7%, p <0.001) after eradication. Minor increases
occurred in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B, whereas
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol remained unchanged. Our results suggest
that chronic H. pylori infection reduces plasma levels of HDL cholesterol
and that eradication improves the lipoprotein pattern.
