Intravenous administration of fat emulsions; metabolic and clinical studies.

Fat emulsions alone or in alternation with amino acid mixtures were administered by continuous intravenous infusion to human subjects. Adequate nutrition was maintained thereby, without untoward effects. Upon too rapid administration of such emulsions, toxic manifestations occurred, apparently referable to an "overload" of the enzyme systems concerned with fat catabolism and storage.

Serum lipids in normal and abnormal subjects; observations on controlled experiments.

The relationship of diet to serum lipids and to atherosclerosis is a controversial subject. The data presented indicate that diets containing very large amounts of vegetable fat are consistently associated with a sharp fall in serum cholesterol and phospholipid, whereas administration of equal amounts of fat of animal origin is associated with a rise of the serum lipids to levels noted on an average mixed diet. In critical evaluation of elderly hospitalized diabetic patients with advanced atherosclerosis it was observed that there was close mathematical correlation between serum content of cholesterol, "lipoproteins," and phospholipids. There was no obvious correlation between the degree or kind of atherosclerosis and any one of the lipid entities followed. Coronary occlusion occurred in a patient with one of the lowest levels of cholesterol and of lipoprotein.
