Alteration of fatty acid blood composition in the development dynamics of experimental hypercholesterolemia

Abstract

Studies of serum fatty acids in rabbits during 2 months of cholesterol show a 13.71% increase in all fatty acids compared to intact animals. The increase in saturated fatty acids was 65.75% compared to intact animals. In animals with experimental atherosclerosis, the sum of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated acids is reduced by 1.58 and 1.67 times, respectively, in comparison with intact animals.
