[Influence of lovastatin on serum lipids in patients with primary hyperlipidemia and phenotype IIa and IIB. II. Changes of lipid composition of plasma lipoprotein fractions after lovastatin administration].

Abstract excerpt

In this study lipid composition of lipoprotein fractions LDL, VLDL and HDL was determined in 30 men with primary hyperlipoproteinemia phenotype IIa and IIb during lovastatin treatment. After 12 weeks of treatment in VLDL and LDL fractions decrease of percentage of cholesterol content and increase percentage of protein content was observed. The percentage of esterified cholesterol decreased in VLDL fraction and...
