Abstract

Amphotericin B was infused into normal rabbits or rabbits made hypercholesterolemic by diet. There was no difference in amphotericin B-induced toxicity between these two groups. Amphotericin B given in a mixture with human low-density lipoproteins was more toxic than when given without lipoproteins.
