Total lipids, total and free fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids and lipoprotein pattern were examined in serum of 6 male and 4 female diabetic patients, 42 to 60 years old, with coronary heart disease, before and after injection of propranolol by vein. There were significant decreases in free fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, total lipids and beta -lipoproteins after propranolol; there was no effect on phospholipids and total fatty acids.
