Abstract
Summary In rats 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid effectively counteracts the lipemic and atherosclerotic response of massive doses of vitamin D2. It regressed the formation of atheromatous arterial lesions. Furthermore the significant decrease in serum β-lipoprotein levels on HMG treatment could be due to decrease in VLDL triglyceride and cholesterol levels.Keywords
