The Importance of Prophylatic Vitaminization of the Diet of Persons under Emotional Stress at Work, for Normalization of Changes in Lipoid Metabolism,

Abstract

The effect of A, B, B2, PP and C vitamins on lipoid and protein metabolism was studied in normal persons and patients in the initial stages of atherosclerosis. Blood cholesterol, lecithin, alpha and beta-lipoprotein levels and the blood serum albumin and globulin content were all determined. All of the 231 persons examined were subject to substantial nervous and emotional stress in their work. Positive shifts in lipoid and protein metabolism was observed in patients receiving vitamins. No such change was observed in persons who did not receive vitamins.
