Abstract
A single intravenous injection of pyrogenal (10 μg/kg) or a culture ofBacillus mesentericus (3·109 bacterial cells/ml/kg body weight) lowered the total blood serum cholesterol concentration on account of its ester-bound fraction and increased both the ester-bound and the free cholesterol concentrations in the liver after 3 h. After 24 h, when the normal temperature was restored, the concentrations of cholesterol and its fractions in both the serum and liver were higher than initially.
