Abstract: The critical relation of nutrition to the development of cardiovascular disease is examined in a collection of symposium papers which focus on the role of dietary fats in the etiology of arteriosclerosis. High serum cholesterol is associated with arteriosclerosis; hypertriglyceridemia, obesity, and abnormal carbohydrate or lipid metabolism may also be predisposing conditions. Other dietary factors, including a high degree of saturation in fats, may influence fatty acid transport, fatty acid composition of arterial vessel walls, blood coagulation, and the mechanism of thrombosis. Atherogenic effects of certain fatty acids have been demonstrated in experimental atherosclerosis produced in animal models. The epidemiology of coronary disease and dietary study methodology is reviewed.

In developed countries the incidence of gestational diabetes lies between 1 and 8%. With the general decrease of perinatal mortality and morbidity, the complications arising from gestational diabetes have become more striking and significant. Moreover, impaired maternal carbohydrate metabolism may lead to non genetic fuel mediated disposition to diabetes in the offspring. The renewed topicality has greatly stimulated research in this field. This book provides both a general survey and the current thinking on special questions of gestational diabetes. It also deals with related topics such as epidemiology, prognosis, follow-up, contraception, etc. The book is addressed to obstetricians and other physicians engaged in prenatal care as well as to internists and neonatologists.
