Abstract
Adding fat to the diet of the rabbit which contains cholesterol increased serum cholesterol. The increased serum cholesterol was associated with increased aortic tissue cholesterol. It is proposed that addition of the lipid to the diet increased absorption and retention of cholesterol and this intensified the cholesterol atherosis.Keywords
