    abstract = {One of the important effects of exercise on human body is 
  on the metabolic system especially on lipids elevated lipids and lipoprotein 
  are risk factors for coronary heart disease. This study was conducted to evaluate 
  the lipid profile among Jordanian top athletes according to gender. The sample 
  included top athletes (males and females) participated in different national 
  teams. One hundred twenty eight Jordanian top athletes 67 males and 61 females, 
  mean age 18.6±1 years with training experience at least 5 years and with 
  a minimal training load of twenty training hours per week participated in competitive 
  different sports (aerobic, anaerobic and aerobic-anaerobic) were included in 
  this study. Group of healthy male and female (control group), matched for age 
  and gender was also included (n = 90). No subject revealed evidences of cardiovascular 
  disease, diabetes (fasting glucose &lt;7 mmol L<SUP>-1</SUP>) or hypertension 
  (blood pressure &lt;130/80 mm Hg) when tested by specialized physicians. The 
  lipid pattern included cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. 
  The results showed n significant differences appeared between the males and 
  females in control, aerobic and anaerobic groups over the lipid profile variables 
  except for triglycerides but significant differences p&gt;0.05 appeared between 
  the males and females groups in the aerobic-anaerobic group over the HDL-C and 
  LDL. Researchers concluded that the most abnormalities observed on routine biochemical 
  screening in male and female athletes are no clinical significance.}
