  Abstract:  Research concerning the homeostasis of lipid metabolites elicits interest due to its predictive value of the pathobiochemical risk. In this context the investigations were performed on a number of 423 subjects aged between 10-18 years (174 boys and 248 girls), pursuing the status of lipid metabolites in blood serum, i.e. triacylglycerols and total cholesterol. Also, the analytical data were correlated with the body mass index (BMI) – a somatometric index. Thus, it was possible to identify the overweight subjects (BMI over 95 percentile) as well as the overweight subjects with homeostatic disturbances (dyshomeostasis). As these adolescents might develop cardiovascular and/or other related diseases in adulthood, they were included in a preventive monitoring system.

Keywords: chemical investigations on lipid metabolites in human blood serum – dyshomeostasis, pathobiochemistry
