Results and discussion

Details on results:
1-Chlorobutane produced a dose-related decrease in serum triglyceride levels at 2 hours after administration of different doses in corn oil (0.1 ml/kg bw). The dose necessary to produce a 50% decrease in in vivo triglyceride secretion was 43.9 mmol/kg (4.1 g/kg). The n-buyl chloride concentration required to produce a 50% decrease in triglyceride secretion by isolated hepatocytes was 24.7 mM (23 mg/mL).
