[Effect of physical exertion on indices of cholesterol metabolism in alimentary obesity].

Physical loading affects the patterns of cholesterol metabolism in patients with obesity. Content of total cholesterol was altered in blood serum after loading depending on its initial level: it was increased if the initial level was low; if the initial content of cholesterol was high physical loading caused a hypocholesterolemic effect. Level of cholesterol esters was often decreased after loading. Physical loading activated lecithin-cholesterol-acyl transferase in blood plasma.
