RESUMO
The hypolipidemic effect of Kwai, a preparation based on garlic powder (Allium sativum), depended on the initial content of cholesterol and/or triglycerides. This effect was most pronounced in patients with coronary heart disease with initial cholesterol >7.0 mmol/liter and triglyceride >1.92 mmol/liter. After treatment with Kwai the correlation between triglyceride content and leukocyte count remained unchanged, the correlation between cholesterol content and leukocyte count disappeared, fibrinogen concentration decreased by 11%, and no correlation was found between fibrinogen content and leukocyte count.

Plasma contents of apolipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein B 100, cholesterol, triglycerides, and vitamin E were measured in 2 patients with lipoprotein (a) concentration >100 mg/dl during the interaction with the anti-lipoprotein (a) immunosorbent. Intraindividual heterogeneity of apolipoprotein (a)-containing particles in the plasma was demonstrated. Polyclonal antibodies against lipoprotein (a) immobilized on Sepharose CL-4B more effectively removed free apolipoprotein (a) than complexes containing apolipoproteins B 100, apolipoprotein (a), lipids, and vitamin E.
