Abstract
The peripheral (cervical) lymph of normal fasting dogs contained, on av., 56 mgm.% cholesterol, 239 mgm.% fatty acid, and 305 mgm.% total lipid, being respectively 41, 54 and 52% of the values for the same substances in the blood plasma of the same dogs, blood and lymph being obtained as nearly as possible simultaneously. Following intraven. injection of fat-laden chyle or of a fat emulsion, a slight rise in the total lipid content usually occurred within 1-4 hrs. but no significant change in the cholesterol content of the cervical lymph, despite an occasional mild hypercholesteremia. These exps. suggest that the degree of permeability of the blood capillary wall to lipid substances other than cholesterol is slight but definite and is greater than that to cholesterol itself.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
