Abstract
Summary
Two patients with idiopathic hyperlipemia were placed on 2400-2600 calorie diets containing 50 g of highly purified soybean oil. with or without the addition of a phospholipid concentrate. Marked decreases in serum lipids occurred during the period of administration of both diets.

Clinical signs of the disease regressed or disappeared coincident with the decrease in serum lipids.
