[Effect of CRP preparation on serum lipids in patients with hyperlipidemia].

In a group of 18 patients with essential hyperlipidaemia the influence was studied of multivitamin CRP preparation given for 12 weeks, on lipid peroxides, cholesterol and triglycerides in the serum. The level of lipid peroxides was decreased significantly. This effect was associated with the increase of the serum level of vitamin E. A decrease was also found of the levels of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol.

Hair zinc and copper concentration in survivors of myocardial infarction.

Increased Zn/Cu ratio in the diet, and consequently in the body, was suggested to be of importance in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Head hair of 29 male survivors of myocardial infarction and of 23 control males was studied for the concentration of Zn and Cu. The Zn hair concentration and Zn/Cu ratio in survivors of myocardial infarction was significantly higher in comparison with controls. The inclusion of the Zn/Cu ratio into the discriminant analysis using total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol considerably improved the coefficient R2 and decreased the number of cases not properly classified.

Serum triglycerides, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-apo B and high density lipoprotein cholesterol subfractions after moderate body weight loss.

Low calorie diet (4.18 MJ daily) was given to 48 (35 female, 13 male) obese patients during 24 days followed by 7 days of normal diet (9.61 MJ daily). Patients were treated in sanatorium under steady medical control. The average body weight decrease in women was 5.3 kg and in men 6.2 kg. A significant decrease in serum triglycerides, total cholesterol and apolipoprotein B in low density lipoproteins (LDL-apo B) was observed after low calorie diet. No influence on high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-chol), HDL2-chol and HDL3-chol in men and on HDL3-chol in women was observed. The HDL2-chol decreased in women. The LDL-apo B/HDL-chol ratio decreased in both sexes, however, it was significant only in women. After 7 days of normal diet no further significant changes in serum lipids and lipoproteins were observed.

[Obesity as a risk factor for ischemic heart disease].

The occurrence of risk factors for ischaemic heart disease in obesity is discussed. The presented view is based on the review of literature and own preliminary experiences. The importance of the distribution of the fatty tissue was shown for the medical practice. Android-type obesity increases the probability of the occurrence of metabolic disturbances leading to ischaemic heart disease.
