Fasting in the rat does not induce hyperfibrinogenaemia.
The effects of fasting in the rat on the plasma fibrinogen concentration have been investigated. Fasting for 24-48 hr produced the expected sustained increase (4-5-fold) in the concentrations in the plasma of non-esterified fatty acids, but no accompanying increase in that of fibrinogen was detected.
