- Abstract
Twenty-nine patients with normal blood lipids were placed on diets. Thirteen, mainly attending hospital for varicose veins, were prescribed low-energy diets: HDL-cholesterol was raised after one month and significantly after three months (P less than 0.02); total cholesterol was lowered (P less than 0.05). Sixteen patients, mainly with irritable bowel symptoms, were prescribed high-fibre diet: HDL-C was raised after one month (P less than 0.05), but not significantly so after three months; total cholesterol was unchanged.
