Abstract
The effects of evisceration, hepatectomy, splen-ectomy, nephrectomy, and enterectomy upon the disappearance of emulsified fat from the blood stream were studied. The liver and spleen remove a major portion of such fat but other tissues are capable of removing small quantities. Removal of the splanchnic viscera and impairment of hepatic function affect the normal relationship between concn. and removal of fat so that the clearance of fat particles is no longer a 1st order process.Keywords
