Abstract
THE milky opalescent appearance of plasma associated with lipaemia is related to the size and number of fat-laden particles. Resolution of these particles and prompt clearing of the turbidity of plasma during absorptive lipaemia follow the intravenous administration of heparin1. The present report shows that the reverse phenomenon, an increase in plasma turbidity, can be readily produced by electrical stimulation of certain deep structures of the brain.
