Abstract
The radioactivity of plasma total lipids determined at intervals after oral ingestion of I131-labeled triolein were much higher in idiopathic hyperlipemic patients than in normal individuals. The excretion of inorganic I131 in the urine in hyperlipemic patients was slower. The experimental evidence obtained in our laboratory and by other investigators, particularly that of Crofford et al.,12 suggests that this might be due to a decrease in the removal of triglycerides from the circulation.
