Abstract
The effects of sitosterol, nicotinic acid and triparanol have been studied in a group of thirty patients with hypercholesterolemia and abnormal radioactive fat tolerance. In a certain number of cases, a decrease in the cholesterol level occurred with each drug. However, in only one instance was there any significant improvement in the fat tolerance. It is suggested that the restricted hypocholesterol activity of these agents limits their effectiveness as atherosclerotic agents.Keywords
