title: [Cardiovascular diseases--bulk producers for prevention?].
abstract: An unfavourable constellation of plasma lipids, e.g., a high triglyceride concentration in combination with a low HDL cholesterol concentration, is a relevant risk factor for the development of arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Plasma lipids may be favourably influenced by bulk producers, in particular by plantago seed (psyllii semen). Several mechanisms of action are involved in this effect.
