Untreated alloxan diabetic rats developed marked hyperlipemia only when their diet contained fat. Diabetes had no effect on plasma triglyceride levels of rats fed a fat-free diet. This result, coupled with prior observations, suggests that hyperlipemia in alloxan diabetes in the rat, and perhaps in diabetes mellitus in man, is related to the intake of dietary fat.
