[Behavior of the biological aging index and serum lipids in treatment with X50].

Lipid metabolic disorders are clinical relevant for the middle and old age. The presented paper shows that decreased HDL-cholesterol and increased triglycerides enlarge the value of pre-ageing. Therefore is a lipid lowering treatment a special problem of gerontology. We have treated 15 patients (age 56.7 +/- 7.8 years) with hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia with the new developed lipids regulans X50 = 1-benzyl-3-(1-carboxy-1-methylethoxy)-4-methylpyrazol. There was a significant decreases of serumtriglycerides (47%) in all patients. Half of the patients showed a significant decreases of total cholesterol (32%). Biological age index and biological age were not influenced. To demonstrate an influence of biological age there are needed longterm treatments in patients with lipid metabolic disorders.
