Methods: Fifteen subjects who met DSM-IV criteria for the diagnosis of nightmare disorder and 15 healthy control subjects participated in the study. We used an enzymatic colorimetric method for cholesterol and triglyceride determination. We measured high-density lipoprotien (HDL) cholesterol using the direct HDL-cliolesterot method. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was calculated according to the Friedewald formula. Results: Patients with nightmare disorder had. lower serum triglyceride, lower total cholesterol, and lower LDL levels than healthy control Subjects. Conclusion: These findings suggest that nightmares are associated with low serum lipid levels.en10.1177/070674370505000613info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessnightmaresserum cholesterolserotoninArticle50636136415999954Q1WOS:000234708600012Q2
