Serum cholesterol in Libyans.

The average diet consumed by Libyans resembles that in developed Western countries in being high in calories and containing a substantial amount of animal protein and fat. Total serum cholesterol and betalipoprotein cholesterol were determined in a section of the population of Benghazi and the figures were compared with those from other countries. In spite of consuming a high calorie and high animal fat diet, the total serum cholesterol and betalipoprotein cholesterol in Libyans were found to be much lower than those reported in the American population. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures in both sexes in the Libyan population were lower than those of Londoners. These lower figures in the Libyans, in comparision to those in developed countries, could be due to some genetic, environmental, geographic or dietetic factors and require investigations.

Haemoglobinopathies in Libya.

Electrophoretic study of haemolysates from five hundred and forty-five subjects from the University of Garyounis, Benghazi, was carried out to find out the incidence of abnormal haemoglobins in Libya. Abnormal haemoglobins were encountered in 23 subjects of unrelated families, giving an overall incidence of 4.2 per cent. Sixteen of these subjects had Hb-AS trait (3.0%), Five subjects had Hb-AC trait (0.9%) and two subjects had Hb-AD trait (0.36%). Present study indicates that the incidence of abnormal haemoglobins in the indigenous population of Libya is low.

Effect of garlic oil in experimental cholesterol atherosclerosis.

Addition of cholesterol in the diet of male albino rabbits produced hypercholesterolaemia, increased tissue cholesterol, and atheromatous changes in the aorta. Supplementation of garlic oil along with cholesterol significantly inhibited the hypercholesterolaemia, decreased tissue cholesterol and minimised the atheromatous changes in the aorta. These results show that the active constituent(s) in garlic responsible for its anti-atherogenic action is present in the oily fraction of garlic.
