[Changes in some blood lipid fractions in experimental poisoning with streptococcal toxin].
After an short bibliographic records in the relation between the endotoxine and lipydic metabolism, the AA. expose an inquiry on the rabbit.  Ten rabbits (weight 2500-3000 g) were traited with 10 U.E. (haemolitic units) of streptococcal toxine (1/10 of DL50 for the rabbit).  A conspicous increase of all the fractions examined, was remarked in all traited animals.  The total lipids and the triglycerides reached the biggest value at 24 hours.  Even the two fractions of cholesterol have increased, but the biggest concentration was at 48 hours.  An hypotesis of interpretation can be that the streptococcal toxine produce the modification of lipidemic outline with the iperincretion of catecolamine, as in first phase of all toxinfections processes.
