Abstract

Nutritional therapy is fundamental in the treatment of
cardiovascular disease. Studies that utilized a low-fat diet
supplemented with 64 grams/day of walnuts have shown
a significant reduction in serum levels of total and LDL
cholesterol, and triglycerides. This study was designed to
see if lipoprotein subclasses varied in patients eating a
low-fat walnut supplemented diet.
