title: [Modification of serum lipids, lipoproteins and apoproteins AI and B in patients with hyperlipidemia Type IIa and IIb using polyenylphosphatidylcholine].
abstract: In a double blind study 27 patients with type II hyperlipidemia (8 IIa and 19 IIb) were treated as follows: 13 received placebo and 14 sn-polyenylphosphatidylcholin (PPC) (P 0206/1/01, Nattermann GmbH, Cologne) in a dose of three times 450 mg b.i.d. In all patients, and also in the two subclasses of patients with type IIa and type IIb hyperlipidemia, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were lowered significantly by PPC. The other parameters showed only minor variation. There was a downward trend in apoprotein B, triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol, and an upward trend in apoprotein AI, with virtually unchanged HDL cholesterol. None of these variations was significant compared with placebo. The fall in LDL cholesterol with unchanged HDL cholesterol caused a statistically significant decrease in the LDL cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio, thus supporting the hypothesis of an antiatherogenic property of PPC, as demonstrated experimentally in various animals.
