Abstract
Fourteen males with elevated blood lipids were given a 20-2.5 Calories % fat diet for 28 days. Fasting blood samples were drawn at zero, two, and four weeks and analyzed for plasma TXB₂ and serum lipids. Plasma TXB₂ was significantly increased the first two weeks with a subsequent decrease the final two weeks. Values were still significantly elevated at four weeks when compared with initial values. Serum cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol were significantly decreased over the four-week period. No significant changes were observed in serum triglycerides.
