title: The effect of indoramin on plasma lipids in hypercholesterolemic patas monkeys.
abstract: In patas monkeys fed a high cholesterol diet, chronic dosing with the antihypertensive agent indoramin increases the cholesterol ratio by raising the plasma HDL-C concentration. Epidemiological evidence suggests that increasing HDL-C reduces the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD). If, therefore, indoramin is able to evoke these changes in man it may be expected to favourably influence the progress of CHD.
