[Effect of an egg-milk-vegetarian diet on nutritional and blood status. II. Findings of a study on circulation, blood status; discussion].

Blood analyses were performed concerning glucose, uric acid, potassium, total protein, s-GOT, S-GPT, total cholesterol, HDL-, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, iron, ferritine, iron binding capacity (IBC), hemoglobin, thiamine, riboflavin, ascorbic acid. Significant changes with regard to improving blood levels at the end of period L, compared with the initial position, could be registrated for the following parameters: uric acid, s-GPT, HDL-, VLDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, IBC, thiamine, ascorbic acid. In both periods, the food volumes actually eaten served basically for the comparison of clinical-chemical parameters. Only a few subjects with inconvenient blood levels had an inadequate intake of the nutrient that was to be correlated with a blood parameter. On the other hand, every blood parameter showed subjects with levels above the average of the group, but averaging, at the same time, far beyond the group's nutrient supply.
