J. Klusek et al., THE INFLUENCE OF STARVATION ON THE LEVEL OF SOME LIPIDS IN PIGS (SHORT COMMUNICATION), Archiv fur Tierzucht, 40(4), 1997, pp. 365-369
Landrace pigs and Duroc (father) x Landrace (mother) crossbreds reveal
ed after 7-day starvation a higher concentration of cholesterol and fr
ee fatty acids in blood plasma, the level of triglycerides increasing
only in the blood plasma of crossbreds, and the total lipid level in L
andrace pigs. The body weight of starved animals decreased by ca. 12-1
3%.
