Lipid parameters and temperatures of serum cholesterol; ethers phasic transition were investigated in 35 patients with atherosclerosis of lower-limb vessels, 93 patients with atherosclerosis of coronary arteries and 40 normal subjects. The correlation between transition temperatures and the fatty-acid spectrum of cholesterol ether fraction was examined. Temperatures of cholesterol ethers phasic transition are suggested as diagnostic criteria to supplement conventional biochemical tests.
