## Abstract Hyperlipidemia was induced in rats by feeding them cheese mixed with high levels of cholesterol. Triglyceride levels more than doubled from 70.4 ยฑ 25.8 mg/dl before the diet to 160.1 ยฑ 50.5 mg/dl three weeks after initiation of the diet, and cholesterol levels were increased by approxim
L-Carnitine (16 mmoles per kg, injected intraperitoneally) is reported to protect mice against subsequent injection of ammonium acetate given at the unprotected LDIoo. The present studies in rats show a variable protective effect of L-carnitine (16 mmoles per kg) administered 1 hr prior to an LDloo
L-carnitine administration prevents the neurological symptoms of acute ammonia toxicity. To further evaluate its efficacy in the prevention of hepatic encephalopathy in hyperammonemic conditions, L-carnitine (16 mmol/kg, intraperitoneally [i.p.] was administered 1 hour before ammonium acetate (NH4OA
