Abstract
Summary
Contrary to the original findings it is established that cholesterol-C14 and cholesterol-H3 are deposited in tissues of rabbits in exactly the same way. The reason for the discrepancy in deposition of the two substances in earlier experiments was found in the presence of chemically negligible traces of cholestanol-H3 which had then not been eliminated from cholesterol-H3 fed. Deposition is different for different tissues and that of cholestanol is only a very small fraction of that for cholesterol.
