title: Effect of colestipol and clofibrate on plasma lipid and lipoproteins in type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia.
abstract: The effects of 2.0 g of clofibrate and 15, 20 and 30 g of colestipol on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels were evaluated in adult patients with Type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia. Clofibrate treatment was associated with decreases in 11.0% in plasma cholesterol. 15.2% in LDL cholesterol, 26.1% in triglycerides, and an 11.3% increase in HDL cholesterol. The reductions in total cholesterol with the various doses of colestipol ranged from 11.9 to 17.8% and reductions in LDL cholesterol ranged from 16.1 to 27.3%. Colestipol treatment was not associated with any significant change in HDL cholesterol levels and minor increases in triglycerides. The addition of clofibrate to patients receiving colestipol resulted in a significant increase in HDL cholesterol and a decrease in triglycerides, but no additional reduction in total or LDL cholesterol.
