Abstract
Summary.: The dietary cholesterol level above which accumulation could be demonstrated in liver, spleen, aorta and bile was somewhere between 0.1% and 0.33% for diets with 10% peanut oil.This limit also holds for fat‐free diets as far as liver, spleen, and probably also aorta are concerned, whereas in the case of bile only an increase of low significance was found as the dietary cholesterol varied from 0 to 1%.The increases found with fat‐free diets were in all cases much smaller than those found when the diet contained 10 % peanut oil.The cholesterol values for liver corresponding to 0 and 0.1% of dietary cholesterol were significantly higher when the diet was fat‐free than when it contained 10% peanut oil.Keywords
