[Changes in lipid-carbohydrate metabolism of rabbits after long-term administration of lactose and its derivatives--glucose and galactose].

Rabbits were administered with lactose, glucose or galactose (3 g per kg of body weight) within three months, after which an alteration in the pattern of response to a sugar loading was noted. Content of cholesterol was distinctly increased in blood serum after administration of glucose. After administration of lactose the increase in content of cholesterol was less distinct. Cholesterol, kephalin and lecithin were markedly deposited in heart and liver after the carbohydrates administration. On the treatment with galactose the total content of lipids and triglycerides was increased in heart. If animals were loaded with lactose, content of triglycerides was increased in heart only.
