Abstract
Summary
The degree of aortic atherosclerosis found in 14 male rabbits given 1 g of cholesterol in gelatin capsules 6 days a week for 9 weeks showed a highly significant positive linear correlation with the average blood total cholesterol level.
Five of these animals which received 1 g of choline chloride in gelatin capsules 6 days a week for the 9 weeks did not differ significantly from the 9 control animals in average blood cholesterol level, in body weight, or in the degree of atherosclerosis which developed.
The author wishes to thank Dr. C. H. Best, under whose direction this work was performed, for his interest and helpful advice.
