An acute fatty infiltration of liver was observed following the intravenous administration of stable rare earths of lower atomic number (lanthanum to samarium) to rats. A study was made of the level of liver lipids during a ten-day recovery period. Data are also included on liver lipids in both male and female rats, mice, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs 48 hours after single intravenous injections of cerium. A significant elevation in liver lipids was noted in rats, mice, and hamsters. No fatty livers were seen in any of the other species except in two male rabbits. Data are tabulated. (C.H.)
