The experiments on white rats have confirmed that the development of lung edema following pituitrin infusion is characterized by considerable changes in phospholipid and cholesterol lung metabolism and cholesterol blood metabolism. Lithium hydroxybutyrate preinjection at a dose of 400 mg/kg prevented a decrease in cholesterol lung content and an increase in cholesterol blood plasma level which was accompanied by less prominent lung edema.
