Abstract
Blood lipid changes in mice subjected to whole-body irradiation were investigated. Fatty acid distributions were determined by gas chromatographic techniques. The low-density lipoproteins (LDL) showed a signfficant drop in plasma concentration after irradiation. Alterations in fatty acid distribution in total plasma may be due to the LDL decreases associated with irradiation. Similar investigations were carried out on mice subjected to a 24hour fasting period. Whereas the LDL and plasma glycerides displayed significant reductions, the high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and phospholipids increased in plasma concentrations. In addition the fatty acid distributions of the LDL, HDL, and plasma glycerides of the fasted mouse showed some significant differences when compared with the controls. (auth)
