[Study on the rapid effects of SAMe in primary and secondary triglyceridemias]
Abstract
A single dose of 30 mg of S-adenosylmethionine was administered to 15 fasting subjects, scrupolously typified, eight of which were affected with primary hypertriglyceridemia, either of type II B or IV according to Fredrickson's classification, and seven with secondary hypertriglyceridemia. Triglyceride and phosphatide concentrations determined 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after SAMe administration have shown a decrease in blood triglycerides and an increase in phosphatide levels, with significant values for the subjects with the primary form.
