Description

Formerly the province only of the chemical pathologist, the subject of lipoproteins is now under review, with the advent of "lipid-lowering" drugs. Treatment is now being offered by cardiologists and general physicians to those with high lipid levels. This area of medicine is also of interest to public health physicians, since changes in lifestyle, such as dietary and smoking habits, have significant effects on lipid levels.
