[The transcerebral use of an impulse current in experimental alimentary hypercholesterolemia]

25 rats with alimentary hypercholesterolemia induced by diet rich in cholesterol and mercazoline were exposed to frontomastoid impulse current (1000 Hz, 0.75 mA). The treatment promoted normalization of lipid and protein metabolism in the myocardium and liver, of thyroid hormones and antiproteinase activity of the serum. Positive trends were noted in the activity of thymocyte nuclei and lipid peroxidation in the cerebral cortex.
