    Abstract:
    The data are provided for the first time about the use of the national food, horse meat, in dietetic management of patients with metabolic-alimentary obesity. Horse meat is characterized by low caloricity, considerable content of full-value protein with an optimally balanced amino acid composition, high content of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, mineral substances. Dietetic management with the use of horse meat, a product that possesses lipotropic and choleretic properties, made in possible to reduce markedly the patients' body mass, with the reduction amounting to 54% of the excess body weight. Furthermore, such a management led to a considerable improvement of liver function. The research data permit the authors to recommend the inclusion of horse meat, a product having a high biological value, into the diets of patients suffering from metabolic-alimentary obesity.
