Abstract
Repeated bleeding in rats caused a definite increase in the serum cholesterol and phospholipid concentrations and a visible lipaemia. The development of lipaemia could be inhibited by injections of red cells in amounts sufficient to prevent the anaemia. The injection of serum corresponding in amount to that withdrawn had no effect in this respect. In hypophysectomized rats, the bleeding caused a similar increase in the serum cholesterol and phospholipid levels but no visible lipaemia.
