Experimental Pre-Thrombotic State of an Organism resulting from the Dysfunction of the Physiological Anticoagulating System induced by an Atherogenic Diet

Abstract

WE have already shown1–6 the existence in the animal organism of a reflex-humoral protective system which prevents the coagulation of blood circulating in the vascular system. In connexion with these results we became interested in the work of Wil-gram7,8 as well as in that of Thomas and Hartroft9. These authors have observed spontaneous myocardial infarctions in rats kept for several months on a diet enriched with fat and cholesterol. We supposed the diet indicated to produce a negative influence on the functional condition of the physiological anticoagulating system, due to which fact a pre-thrombotic state is seen to arise in the animal organism.
