Cholesterol and Phospholipid Concentration in Hepatic Lymph and Bile During Phosphatide Induced Hypercholesteremia. ∗

Abstract

Summary

Rate of disappearance of intravenously injected phosphatide from plasma was markedly retarded in the liverless rat. When hypercholesteremia was provoked in normal rats by constant infusion of phosphatide, the elevated blood cholesterol concentration was not reflected in any rise of cholesterol level in hepatic or intestinal lymph, or in bile. The elevated phospholipid level was not reflected in bile or intestinal lymph, but did cause a moderate rise in the phospholipid level of hepatic lymph.
