摘要: Abstract The present study was undertaken to evaluate the possible lipid-lowering effects of low-dose cholestyramine medication in type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia. A total 16 patients, 8 with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and polygenic hypercholesterolemia, were investigated. After an initial 3-month period dietary treatment, patients randomly selected for 4 g twice daily, other received a dose daily 2 months. regimens then exchanged, followed further Plasma lipids lipoprotein cholesterol determined at intervals weeks. Total plasma .was reduced by 17% during treatment somewhat more (26%) daily. decrease LDL did not differ (27%) (31%); no changes triglycerides, VLDL- or HDL-cholesterol seen. Although LDL-cholesterol higher there obvious influence genetic origin on response. It is concluded that lowers, sometimes normalizes, hypercholesterolemia. Furthermore, level obtained 16-g could be predicted from response seen
