[The effect of phospholipids on the adhesive properties of bacteria].

The present work shows that choline-containing phospholipids (lysophosphatidylcholine and lyso-1-alkyl-sn-glycerophosphocholine) inhibit the adhesion of some strains: Bacterium bifidum 1, B. adolescentis MC-42, B. longum B.

[Metabolic effect of lipostabil-forte].

Effects of lipostabil-forte containing unsaturated fatty acids on serum lipid concentrations, plasma and erythrocyte lipid and phospholipid fractions, immunoreactive insulin and thyroidal hormone levels were studied in 30 patients with coronary heart disease. During the therapy of all the patients within 1 month and occasionally 3 and 6 months, there was a statistically significant reduction in serum triglycerides, an increase in relative erythrocyte phospholipid levels and in plasma and erythrocyte phosphotylcholine, as well as reversal of hyperinsulinemia and improvement of thyroid function.
