Wronska-Nofer T, Laurman W, Szendzikowski S, Kolakowski J, Wegrowski J: [Lipid changes in the blood serum and arterial wall in rabbits chronically exposed to CS2]. Med Pr. 1980;31(4):311-8.
In the studies carried out lipids content in blood serum and aorta wall as well as morphological changes in coronary vessels of CS2 exposed rats have been evaluated. The 10-month-exposure to CS2 at a concentration of 0,8--0,9 mg/l has been found to result in: (1) increased concentration of total and free cholesterol, cholesterol esters, triglycerides and phospholipids in blood serum; (2) increase in total cholesterol and significant rise in the level of cholesterol esters in the aorta wall; (3) a relative increase in serum VLDL, LDL and decrease in HDL fraction. Histological estimation has demonstrated in serial sections of hearts of the CS2 exposed animals thickened walls of left coronary artery branches with no lipid deposits. In two animals focal steatosis of aortic bulb wall and aortic valves and lipids droplets in endothelium of ascending aorta and coronary vessels have been found. |
