[Effect of alpha-tocopherol and hyperbaric oxygenation on lipid fatty-acid composition of the plasma in hypercholesteremic rabbits].

When simultaneous effect of alpha-tocopherol and hyperbaric oxygenation on fatty acid composition of lipids was studied in blood plasma of rabbits with experimental atherosclerosis, 3-5-fold increase in activity of lecithin-cholesterol acyl transferase was detected (P less than 0.05). At the same time, alterations in the linoleate/oleate ratio were found involving a decrease in phospholipids, free fatty acids and triglycerides as well as an increase cholesterol esters. Concentration of free cholesterol was decreased 1.5-fold.
