Abstract
Following large fat meals changes occur in the circulation of the cheek pouch of the golden hamster. These changes consist of an increased adhesiveness and aggregation of the red blood cells accompanied by a slowing and even cessation of flow of the blood in the exposed pouch. They appear after the peak of the lipemia has been passed, and develop to their maximum as the lipemia clears. After complete clearing of the lipemia the suspension stability of the blood returns toward normal, and the circulation again assumes a normal appearance. These changes are similar to those seen after the intrav. injns. of gelatin and large molecular wt. dextrans.
