[Effect of pyridoxine on patterns of lipid metabolism in patients with alimentary obesity].

Studies of patients with alimentary-metabolic obesity, which were treated with pyridoxine and were maintained on a reduced diet, revealed a normalizing effect of the vitamin on some patterns of lipid metabolism. In patients, treated with pyridoxine, body weight, content of total lipids, cholesterol, phospholipids, glycerids and beta-lipoproteins in blood serum were decreased more distinctly as compared with patients, which were only maintained on a reduced diet. In hyperlipidaemia the positive effect of pyridoxine was more pronounced than in the cases with normal content of lipids in blood.
