  • Title: D-Thyroxine in hyperbetalipoproteinaemia.
    Author: Myburgh DP, Joubert CP.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1975 Oct 04; 49(42):1757-8. PubMed ID: 171778.
    Abstract:
    D-Thyroxine was administered intermittently to 11 patients with hyperlipoproteinaemia (Fredrickson type lla). To avoid possible untoward cardiac stimulation, practolol was prescribed with it. Cholesterol levels were measured regularly over a period of 4 years. A temporary drop of about 15% in the mean cholesterol level was obtained. It is, however, concluded that the over-all response is unimpressive.
