Abstract
In normal persons and patients with varying concentrations of triglycerides a good positive correlation (p < 0.001) was found between the level of triglycerides in plasma and the number of basophils. Cholesterol correlated to the number of basophils only at the 5 per cent level of significance, between the free fatty acids resp. phospholipids no correlation was demonstrable. These findings give further evidence of the physiologic role of basophils, resp. heparin in metabolism of triglycerides. In 7 cases of essential hyperlipemia the number of basophils was much lower than expected from their high triglyceride level.
