  • Title: [Effect of the PSMF diet on plasma lipids and lipoproteins in obese subjects].
    Author: Petrillo A, Chevaux F, Rohrer J, Darioli R.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1984 Dec 08; 114(49):1837-41. PubMed ID: 6515380.
    Abstract:
    The influence of weight reduction on plasma lipids, lipoproteins and apoproteins was studied in 14 patients (8 females and 6 males) with varying degrees of obesity. After 4 weeks on hypocaloric diet (PSMF), an 8% weight loss was associated with a significant decrease in total cholesterol (18%), triglycerides (47%) and phospholipids (20%). No significant change was observed in HDL-cholesterol. The HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio was increased. The greatest decrease was observed in VLDL fractions. The decreases in apoprotein A and B were 19% and 15% respectively. These findings indicate that favourable changes in plasma lipoproteins are achieved after weight loss on hypocaloric diet.
