[Effect of a reduced diet on hyperlipoproteinemia in metabolic-alimentary obesity]

The effect of calorifically reduced diet No 8e on the lipoproteinic composition of the blood serum in patients with metabolic-alimentary adiposity was studied. Most of the patients examined demonstrated hyperlipoproteinemia, basically of the IIb type, more seldom of the IIa and IV types. Following a course of the reduced diet the frequency of hyperlipoproteinemia of the II, III and IV types declines and the content of atherogenid lipoprotein fractions in the serum goes down. In young patients the effect of a reduced diet on the lipoprotein composition of the blood serum proved most effective.
