摘要

Compositions contg. soluble elastin for internal administration are new. They are used as antilipemic and anticholesterolemic agents. Soluble elastin is obtained by hydrolysis of insoluble elastin, as described in the parent patent. It has a mol.wt. between 12000 and 120000, and is preferably purified by dialysis to a mol.wt. above 25000. Soluble elastin is given parenterally, orally, or rectally, at a dosage of 2-20 mg/kg.
