  • Title: Effect of long term treatment with hydrophilic colloid on serum lipids.
    Author: Danielsson A, Ek B, Nyhlin H, Steen L.
    Journal: Acta Hepatogastroenterol (Stuttg); 1979 Apr; 26(2):148-53. PubMed ID: 111460.
    Abstract:
    Thirteen patients with essential hyperlipoproteinaemia were treated over periods of 2--29 months with hydrophilic colloid made from Psyllium. Reduction of the increased serum cholesterol levels averaged 16.9 per cent, and the corresponding figure for the increased triglyceride levels was 52.0 per cent. The reduction of cholesterol and triglyceride was statistically significant (p less than 0.0025 and p less than 0.0005 respectively). No significant change in normal blood lipid levels was observed on administration of the Psyllium colloid.
