Abstract
Alloxan diabetic rabbits, when fed a cholesterol-enriched diet, developed blood cholesterol levels much higher than did normal rabbits fed the same diet. Atheromata appeared consistently in controls (and also in alloxan-injd., nondiabetic rabbits) after 41 days on this diet, but only to a slight degree in one diabetic rabbit fed the same diet for 98 days. There was no qualitative difference in the character of the lesions in the 3 groups.
