Epinephrine Mediated Increases in Plasma Cholesterol

Abstract
The effect of physiological elevations of plasma epinephrine levels on plasma cholesterol levels was studied in 10 cynomolgus monkeys. Epinephrine was increased 5 days/wk for 6 h/day. After 2 wk, the cholesterol levels increased on the average of 15 mg% (P < 0.01).
