  • Title: Blood lipid changes in musculoskeletal trauma of the rabbit.
    Author: Alho A, Kostiainen E, Lahti R, Lounavaara A, Mäkinen M.
    Journal: Ann Chir Gynaecol Fenn; 1975; 64(4):252-6. PubMed ID: 1190698.
    Abstract:
    After multiple long bone fractures, signs of excessive fat transport were observed in rabbits. Staining of albumen in the lipoprotein electrophoresis suggests an increased free fatty acid mobilisation. During the five day experimental period the beta lipoproteins increased while the alpha1 lipoproteins decreased. On the second post-traumatic day, the proportion of pre- beta lipoproteins increased simultaneously with a four-fold increase in plasma triglycerides. Some increase in cholesterol was also observed. An augmented de novo synthesis of fat is proposed as an explanation for part of the increased post-traumatic lipid transport. The changes were compared with a simultaneous occurrence of fat in the lung and kidney.
