Abstract

This descriptive study was carried out in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College. Dhaka, during the period of January 2008 to December 2008. The objective of the study was to measure blood sugar and serum lipid profile in smoker and nonsmoker woke patients and to find out changes of blood sugar and serum lipids among them. To accomplish the purpose. 105 adult male stroke patient of over 20 years of age were selected. They were divided into nvo groups: Group A consisting of 30 non-smokers and group B consisting of 75 smoker stroke patients. It was found that smoking caused no significant differences (p>0.05) in blood sugar level and significant differences (p<0.05) in serum lipids between smokers and non -smokers. This study provides the scope to understand whether there was altered physiology in smoker stroke patients.
