Abstract
As long as the diet was ingested the addition of 3% AlOH3 gel did not prevent hypercholesterolemia or atheromatosis in cholesterol-fed chicks. Neither did such a diet result in inanition or paralysis. Normal cholesterol values, inanition, and paralysis developed with rejection of the diet. The stress of inanition did not produce hypercholesterolemia in chicks. Neither cortisone acetate nor boric acid influenced the development of arterial lesions, although the latter had some effect on lipid deposition.
