Pharmaceutical for improving lipid metabolism - based on eggs with high iodine content to increase high density lipid concn. in blood

摘要

A pharmaceutical prepn (I) for the improvement of lipid metabolism contains, as active ingredient, eggs with a high iodine content (pref 300 ug or more per egg). (I) improves lipid metabolism and can easily in the form of a conventional nutrient be incorporated in the daily diet, improving the level of HDL (high density lipids) in the blood, which reduces the possibility of heart disease, compared to LDL (low density lipids)which increase the probability of heart disease.
