title: Dynamics of interrelationships between the content of lipoprotein particles, fibrinogen, and leukocyte count in the plasma from patients with coronary heart disease treated with Kwai.
abstract: The hypolipidemic effect of Kwai, a preparation based on garlic powder (Allium sativum), depended on the initial content of cholesterol and/or triglycerides. This effect was most pronounced in patients with coronary heart disease with initial cholesterol >7.0 mmol/liter and triglyceride >1.92 mmol/liter. After treatment with Kwai the correlation between triglyceride content and leukocyte count remained unchanged, the correlation between cholesterol content and leukocyte count disappeared, fibrinogen concentration decreased by 11%, and no correlation was found between fibrinogen content and leukocyte count.
