In the present study, we evaluated the effects of lecithin (LC) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) administration on the changes of the plasma apoproteins and lipids in subjects with normo- or hyperlipidemic non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
EPA significantly reduced the level of plasma LDL-cholesterol in cases with normolipidemic NIDDM.
When EPA was administrated to persons with hyperlipidemia, total cholesterol and apoprotein-B slightly but not significantly decreased (281mg/dl to 240mg/dl, 132mg/dl to 118mg/dl, respectively).
LC tended to increase plasma level of apoprotein A-I in normo- and hyperlipidemic NIDDM.
