title: [Experience in the use of eiconol (a complex of unsaturated fatty acids) in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus].
abstract: Cardiovascular disease is the principal cause of morbidity, functional disability and fatal outcomes in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The results of administration of eikonol, food additive containing omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, for 3 months were analyzed for 60 elderly NIDDM patients with ischemic heart disease. A single administration of eikonol leads to a decrease in accumulation of intracellular cholesterol by 15%. Diet eikonol decreased the level of total cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood by 23 and 43%, respectively. Moreover, the higher is the initial value of these parameters, the higher is the effect of the preparation. Eikonol proved to increase the level of lipoproteins of high density, produced a positive trends in NIDDM clinical picture. Food additive eikonol is recommended for wide administration in elderly NIDDM patients with atherogenic dyslipidemias.
