This volume comprises the proceedings of the sixth International
Symposium on Drugs Affecting Lipid Meta bolism. Since the first of
these symposia in 1960 these triennial meetings have been devoted
to the exploration of new ideas, new data and new concepts related
to lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis. The sixth Meeting was
particularly stimulating in this regard. The concept of the
"protective" action of HDL was thoroughly explored within the
framework of its molecular biology with data on its epidemiological
as well as its in vitro mechan ism(s) of action being discussed.
The action of drugs on arterial and HDL metabolism was also
discussed as were newer aspects of platelet aggregation, especially
as related to prostaglandins. New ground was also broken in
discussions of lipid mobilization and mechan isms of
hypocholesteremia. We are indebted to the many organizations who
con tributed generously to the support of this meeting. Among the
sponsors, the assistance of the Lorenzini Foundation was especially
helpful. As in all meetings of this type, the hard work of the
local organizing committee was instrumental in its success. We are
grateful to Mrs. Caroline Hyatt and Mr. Ralph Hollerorth for their
invaluable help in the secretariat. We are also deeply indebted to
Miss Jane T. Kolimaga for her expert assistance in the preparation
of this volume. David Kritchevsky Rodolfo Paoletti William L.
