Abstract:
Pantethine was tested in different forms of experimental hyperlipidemia in a rodent strain (Ivanovas-Sieve) spontaneously exhibiting elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) levels. Pantethine (P) generally given at a daily dose of 500 mg/kg, was compared with clofibrate (200 mg/kg). P and clofibrate (CPIB) proved ineffective on ACTH lipolysis and on Triton hyperlipidemia; CPIB showed a significant activity on fructose and ethanol induced hypertriglyceridemia; both compounds effectively reduced elevated TG and cholesterol levels following the Nath diet. In all experimental models, both in basal conditions and after stimulation, CPIB generally reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels; this effect was not elicited by P.
