Effects of Dextran on Cortisone-Induced Hyperlipemia in Rabbits.

Abstract
Summary Dextran in doses of 1 to 1.5 g/ day inhibited production of cortisone hyperlipemia in rabbits and partially reversed the hyperlipemia produced by cortisone. Alterations in fat transport, fat mobilization or in clearing factor action are considered as the basis for antagonism between dextran and hyperlipemic action of cortisone.
