[The efficacy of substances with antihypoxic action in experimental hyperlipidemia].

Experiments on rats, guinea pigs and rabbits with hyperlipidemia induced by high-cholesterol diet have revealed that the specific antihypoxic drug oliphen has hypolipidemic effect which is least pronounced in oral GABA. Oliphen causes a significant increase in alpha-cholesterol (antiatherogenic lipoprotein cholesterol) decreased by hyperlipidemia. It is suggested that oliphen improves hepatic receptor-dependent uptake and atherogenic lipoprotein degradation.
