[Effects of 2 thymus extracts on blood levels of cholesterol and glucose in the rat].
The effects of two calf thymus extracts (fraction III and Tp1) on the haematic levels of cholesterol and glucose in the rat on a fat diet have been compared. The fraction III carries out a very marked decrease of cholesterolemia without changes in the levels of glycemia. On the contrary the Tp1 determines only a moderate decrease of cholesterolemia but a very marked decrease of glycemia. Thherefore these results seem both to confirm the differences between the two thymus extracts and the metabolic actions of thymus.
