[Carbohydrate metabolism and endogenous hyperlipemia]

The state of carbohydrate metabolism was studied under conditions of endogenous hyperlipemia induced by triton WR-1339. The data obtained testify to the fact that administration of triton WR-1339 to experimental animals intensifies lipogenesis from carbohydrates, that is confirmed by a decrease in the glycogen amount in the liver and by an activation of the pentose-phosphate pathway of carbohydrate oxidation which is important for cells intensely synthetizing fatty acids. Thus, there is a relation between disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism and development of hyperlipemia induced by the triton.
