Popis:	Summary Although no definite conclusions can be made concerning the origin of the lipemia, a study of the medical history of a 7-year-old boy discloses evidence of a high and continuous lipemia, of several years' duration, which has not precluded growth or development nor produced any appreciable disturbance in living routine. Metabolic study shows the level of fats in his blood is directly influenced by the amount of fat ingested. Continuous administration of a diet low in fat has produced progressive improvement. Studies of his respiratory quotient and specific dynamic response to foods indicate that the patient can burn fat and carbohydrate at an apparently normal rate.
