It was established that application of the domestic preparation trecrezan for the treatment of experimental atherosclerosis in rabbits led to decreases in the levels of cholesterol and total lipids in platelets (Tc) and monocytes (Mc) of the blood. Results of enzymatic analysis indicated that the development of atherosclerosis was accompanied by increased activity of acid cholesterol esterase by 64% in Mc and 22.7% in Tc compared to a standard. Intramuscular administration of trecrezan (25 mg/kg) reduced significantly the activity of acid cholesterol esterase by 35% in Mc and 26% in Tc compared with a control.
