RESUMO
Alteration of the rabbit serum lipids as a result of three bacterial infections was studied by quantitative thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography. Anthrax infection slightly changed the serum lipid. Cholesterol did not change, though free fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesteryl esters doubled, and lecithin increased threefold. Tularemia infection produced drastic changes in the serum lipid content of rabbits, increasing levels of cholesterol over 4-fold, free fatty acids 17-fold, triglycerides 11-fold, cholesteryl esters 2.5-fold, and lecithin almost 3-fold. Pneumococcus infection increased cholesterol 2.5 times, free fatty acids were more than doubled, triglycerides were increased 9.5 times, and lecithin was increased almost 4 times. Gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of the methyl esters of free fatty acids showed only quantitative changes in these acids due to infection. Some possible mechanisms of alteration of serum lipid content are discussed.
