Application of soluble dietary fibres in treatment of hyperlipoproteinemias.

Soluble dietary fibres as ingredients of our meal play an important role in both the prevention and treatment of hyperlipoproteinemias. We studied the effect of highly esterified sorbitol-granulated apple pectin on lipid metabolism in patients with hyperlipoproteinemia. They were all female (aged 40 to 60 years)-24 with type IIa and 23 with type IIb hyperlipoproteinemia.
