Effect of a long term oral administration of a hypercholesterolic diet on rat liver substructures.

Abstract

The effects of high cholesterol diets on ultrastructure morphologic alterations of rat liver have been investigated. It has been verified that these diets induce the biochemical and morphological damage, as well as death in a shorter time than alipidic or sole saturated lipid diets. Moreover it has been established that the anatomic irreversible damage appears at the last stage, just before death.
