THE EFFECTS OF CHOLESTEROL DOSAGE, CORTISONE, AND DCA ON TOTAL SERUM CHOLESTEROL, LIPOPROTEINS, AND ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN THE RABBIT

Abstract
The effects of cholesterol dosage, cortisone, and desoxycorticosterone acetate on total serum cholesterol, lipoproteins, and atherosclerosis were studied over a period of 112 days in thirty-two rabbits. Cholesterol was administered by feeding the rabbits diets containing 0.063, 0.25, and 1.0 per cent cholesterol At intervals measurements were made of total serum cholesterol and of low density lipid and lipoprotein components of three classes, Sf, 5–9, Sf 10–15, and Sf 16–30.
