[Effect of temperature acclimation on plasma high density lipoprotein in rats (author's transl)].
Effect of temperature acclimation to cold as well as heat on plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) was investigated in rats. Cold acclimation (5 degrees C, 4 weeks) caused significant increase in plasma HDL, while heat acclimation (34 degrees C, 4 weeks) caused significant decrease in plasma HDL. Noradrenaline treatment (50 micrograms/100 g, sc., 2 times a day) did not affect plasma HDL level. These results indicate that temperature acclimation could influence HDL metabolism, possibly not via noradrenaline.
