Özet

Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease arising from unknown origin. Dyslipidemia, T-lymphocyte mediated inflammation, lipoprotein associated oxidative activity and lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity include the pathogenesis of MS. In the current study, we evaluated the effect of Lp-PLA2 activity and serum lipids in MS patients with different clinical stages to understand the effect these parameters on MS progression.
