[Cholesterolemia and pyrexy (author's transl)].
During pyretic diseases from any origin, total plasma cholesterol level decreases and its values are frequently below 1 g per liter. This observation could be expected because it conforms with the following theory: 1) cholesterol synthesis in an organism is proportional to consumed energy, 2) plasma cholesterol level is lower as cholesterol synthesis is high.
