Abstract
Conclusion
(1) The cholesterol content of rabbit liver, increased by cholesterol feeding, tends to return spontaneously to a normal value when the feeding is stopped. KI apparently does not accelerate this fall. (2) The normal decrease in adrenal weights and the prompt fall in the blood cholesterol occurring when cholesterol feeding is stopped are both inhibited by the administration of KI at the conclusion of the feeding period. (3) The high incidence of males among rabbits failing to develop a hypercholesterolemia with cholesterol feeding warrants further study.
