The Proceedings of the Eight International Symposium on Drugs
Affecting Lipid Metabolism (8th D.A.L.M.) is the subject of this
volume. Since the first symposium in 1960, each successive meeting
has broken new ground in the field of pharmacological control of
lipid levels - offering new and stimulating insights and exposing
the audience to the state of the art. The field has progressed
sufficiently to permit discussion of the cellular biology of athero
sclerosis. The opening session was devoted to pathology,
macrophages, lipoproteins and their receptors and choles terol
ester metabolism. Because of the recent emergence of new
apolipoprotein technology, a workshop devoted sole ly to
apolipoprotein methodology was introduced followed by a plenary
session devoted to their metabolism and structure. Another rapidly
developing area of atherosclerosis research is non-invasive
assessment of this condition. Accordingly, a session was devoted to
new techniques for this research modality. The final plenary
sessions were devoted to the roles of drugs and diet in athero scl
rosis - cause, treatment and mechanisms of action. The meeting was
summarized by Dr. O.J. Pollak, one of the "founding fathers" of
this field. There were nine sessions of proffered papers whose
abstracts appear in this volume. In addition, special workshops (to
be reported elsewhere) were devoted to several drugs including
Oiyzanol, Probucol and Etofibrate."
