title: The effect of coffee deprived of irritant substances upon some indices of lipid metabolism in healthy volunteers and patients with hyperlipoproteinemia.
abstract: Effect of 14 days coffee drinking upon some blood serum indices of lipid metabolism was studied on 20 healthy volunteers and 20 patients with hyperlipoproteinemia (type IIb). The study was done in two subgroups: healthy volunteers or patients with hyperlipoproteinemia which had belonged to the first subgroup drank ordinary coffee and the ones which belonged to the second subgroup drank coffee deprived of irritant substances. (4 glasses per day). It was found that in healthy volunteers ordinary coffee had given rise to a significant increase of serum total cholesterol and to a decrease of serum HDL-cholesterol. These changes were not observed in subgroup drinking coffee deprived of irritant substances. More significant rise of serum total cholesterol and decrease of serum HDL-cholesterol were found in patients with hyperlipoproteinemia. Drinking of modified coffee does not cause any significant changes in serum indices of lipid metabolism. The authors concluded that drinking of ordinary coffee should be restricted in patients with hyperlipoproteinemia and coffee deprived of irritant substances might be recommended to patients with this disease.
