title: [Variations of triglycerides and of plasma free fatty acids in the rat as a function of the duration of cold maintenance].
abstract: During the first day of rat exposure to cold (4 degrees C), there was a rapid and regular decrease in plasmatic triglyceride levels and an increase in the free fatty acid ones. These levels remained constant for one week then, untill the third week, they changed slowly and reached the typical levels found in cold acclimated animals. After six weeks of cold exposure, triglycerides were 2.5 fold lesser than in controls and free fatty acids were increased by 50%.
