摘要: Postmenopausal women show elevated serum low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), and low high-density (HDL-C) compared with premenopausal women, to control their dyslipidemia means lower LDL-C levels. Policosanol (5 20 mg/d) is an effective cholesterol-lowering agent, atorvastatin (10 - 80 one of the most efficacious statins. This randomized, single-blinded study efficacy tolerability policosanol in postmenopausal type II hypercholesterolemia. After a baseline diet step, 60 patients were randomized or 10-mg/d for 8 weeks. significantly (p < 0.000 01) lowered (32.8 39.7 %, respectively), TC (23.6 29.1 %) 0.001) TG (11.3 17.6 %), whereas increased 1 p HDL-C 9.9 respectively).
