In a controlled trial 2 groups of 30 patients presenting various dislipidemic pictures were treated for 50 days with either 3,5-dihydroxy-1,4-bis-(3,4-dihydroxy-cinnamoyloxy)-cyclohexan-carbonic acid-(1) (cynarin, Listrocol) or placebo. Cynarin provied to be able to induce a significant reduction of the hypercholesteremia, the level of pre-beta-lipoproteins, the beta/alpha-lipoprotein ratio and patients' body weight. The administration of cynaria is, therefore, deemed useful in the prophylaxis and therapy of dislipidemic pictures of the arteriosclerotic disease.
