[Lipid metabolic changes in the lung tissue of patients dying in the acute period of a myocardial infarct].

Fatty-acid composition of lipids was determined as was activity of lipid peroxidation and lung tissue content of neutral fats and phospholipids in myocardial infarction during the acute phase of the course of the disease using gas-chromatographic, biochemical, and morphological techniques. Lung tissue in myocardial infarction was found out to accumulate neutral fats. Also recordable in lung tissue was redistribution of phospholipids, with the interalveolar septa structures getting reduced, which fact is accompanied by changes in fatty acid composition of lipids together with activation of lipid peroxidation processes.
