[Feasibility of correcting lipid metabolism in patients with cardiovascular diseases using a balanced vegetarian diet].
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to evaluate the effects of a lactoovovegetarian diet on lipid profiles in patients with dyslipoproteinemia types IIa and IIb.
Results Summary
The study found that the lactoovovegetarian diet led to decreased levels of cholesterol, atherogenic lipoproteins, and atherogenic coefficient after 24 days of treatment. Patients highly appreciated the diet based on questionnaire responses.
Population
20 patients with dyslipoproteinemia types IIa and IIb.
Effective Dosage
Not specified
Duration

The spectrum of lipids in 20 patients with dyslipoproteinemia type IIa and IIb (group I and group II) was studied. The patients were treated for 24 days with a lactoovovegetarian diet used for the first time in the country. No drugs were employed. A decrease in the levels of cholesterol, atherogenic lipoproteins and atherogenic coefficient was observed after the treatment. The patients, who were offered a questionnaire highly appreciated the diet.
