title: A disturbance of serum lipids in three cases of Werner's syndrome.
abstract: 3 cases of Werner's syndrome were studied on serum lipid metabolism in comparison with clinical manifestation. These 3 cases showed hyperlipemia all with hypertriglycemia and increased level of very low density lipoprotein. The lipoprotein lipase activity was shown after intravenous injection of heparin. These results indicate a possible pathogenic facet of Werner's syndrome from the lipid metabolic point of view.
