RESUMO
Forty subjects, aged 15-45 years were randomly selected. Subjects were separated age wise into 1st group [15-30 years] and 2nd group [31-45 years]. They were divided into groups A and C. Group A included twenty patients of acute and transient psychiatric disorder while group C includes 20 age and sex matched normal controls. Serum total cholesterol [TC], Serum triglyceride [TG], Serum HDL-c and Serum phospholipid were done by using colorimetric methods. Serum LDL-c was calculated by Friedwald equation. Results obtained were analyzed by using students 't' test and level of significance was done. Altered lipid metabolism was found in patients of acute and transient psychotic disorders with decreased Serum TC, LDL-c and phospholipids
