"Seventeen patients". "Thirteen subjects achieved normal

Title: New combined therapy of niceritrol and probucol on
heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Author:

Abstract: Seventeen patients with heterozygous familial
hypercholesterolemia were sequentially treated with: a low
cholesterol, fat restricted diet; diet and probucol (500
mg/day); and diet, probucol and niceritrol (1500 mg/day).
Concentrations of plasma cholesterol decreased from 348 + 49
mg/dl on diet alone to 304 + 32 mg/dl, to 256 + 30 mg/dl on
diet and probucol, and fell to 212 + 41 mg/dl on the
combined regimen with niceritrol. Concentrations of
LDL-cholesterol declined 13% on diet, and 26% on diet and
probucol; the subsequent addition of niceritrol resulted in
a 42% fall from the baseline. Plasma concentrations of
apolipoprotein B fell 37% on the combined regimen with
niceritrol. As a result, normal levels of cholesterol (less
than 230 mg) were achieved in thirteen subjects treated with
this new combination therapy. Moreover, atherogenic index
improved with the addition of niceritrol. These results
suggest even a small dose of niceritrol affords opportunity
to maintain normal lipid profile in heterozygous familial
hypercholesterolemia when given in combination with
probucol. Review References: None Notes: None Language:

As you all are much aware about the effectiveness of 'Yoga'
and also practice it regularly, so I want to share a site with
you all. When going the alternative medicine route one is
often left to research and experiment to find the right
products and resources. Here is a new site that is beginning
to gather all the resources in one place. You can research
conditions for various therapeutic modes, including Ayurvedic
medicine, and get information about the effectiveness of
therapies and remedies. The site is also a launching point for
researching integrated alternative medicine therapies on the
web. Go to http://www.rvita.com . Hope it will help you to
gather more knowledge about 'Yoga' and other things.
