Der einfluss wiechen und harten trinkwassers auf die ausbildung arteriosklerotischer frühveränderungen und die plasmalipoide beim hausschwein

Abstract

Two groups of pigs were kept under identical environmental conditions except for drinking water. One group was supplied with distilled (ion-exchanged) water, the other with normal drinking water. The arteriosclerotic lesions were studied using histologic and planimetric methods. Serum lipids were measured. The results of these determinations confirm the opinion of other investigators that the mineral content of the drinking water does not influence the formation of early arteriosclerotic lesions in swine.
