RESUMO

The effects of clofibrate administration were studied in rats made hyperlipidemic by the feeding of diets high in sucrose. Within 12 hr of administration of clofibrate, there was a marked decrease in the concentration of serum high density lipoproteins but no change in the concentrations of the low and very low density lipoproteins. Between 2-4 days of treatment, the concentration of the very low density lipoproteins decreased whereas that of the low density lipoproteins was unchanged. In addition, the composition of the very low density lipoproteins was altered by clofibrate administration with a decrease in triglyceride and an increase in phospholipid content.
