Author: Mary Esther Daisy Reyes Beltran Title PhD Thesis: Effect of Smallanthus sonchifolius “ yacon” in the treatment of hyperlipidaemias compared with diet alone and gemfibrozil. Trujillo, 2007. Advisor: Dr. Juan Jorge Huamán Saavedra. Total Pages: 40 Institution: Faculty of Medicine, Trujillo National University. LDL’s increase cholesterol and of triglicéridos and HDL’s cholesterol decrease are factors of coronary risk. The interest is to know if it exists some variation in the levels of total cholesterol, cholesterol-HDL, cholesterol-LDL and triglicéridos in hiperlipidemic patients treaties with diet suplemented with yacón compared with alone diet and Gemfibrozilo. We worked with 42 hipercolesterolemic patients divided in three groups of 14 individuals each one distributed at random: The yacón diminished the triglicéridos in 15 % of the value pretest in a similar percentage to the gemfibrozilo (16.6 %) however in absolute values the effect of the yacón is significantly minor than the gemfibrozilo. The effects of the yacón on other components of the lipidic profile are significant comparing them with the alone diet and are similar to those of the gemfibrozilo. In conclusion, the yacón is useful to help the patients hiperlipidémicos in the initial treatment principally for values moderately high.
