Abstract
THE question whether variation in the intake of alcohol or sodium chloride has any marked influence on serum lipids is of considerable interest in human pathology. Whereas several investigators have studied the long-term influence of these factors, especially on vascular changes, relatively few reports have been published on the variations in serum lipids caused by a single dose of alcohol and by short periods of high or low intake of sodium chloride. The present communication deals with some experiments aimed at elucidating these problems.
