Abstract

Seventeen ambulant outpatients with familial Type Ha or Type IIb hyperlipoproteinaemia were treated with Cynarin, the 1,5-dicaffeyl ester of quinic acid, the constituent of the artichoke ( Cynara scolymus). The dose tested was 250 mg and 750 mg daily. The mean serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were not significantly changed within 3 months. Cynarin, administered per os, has no hypolipidaemic effect in familial Type II hyperlipoproteinaemia.
