Abstract
The effect of increasing levels (0–1.0%) of dietary cholesterol has been studied in the Mongolian gerbil. A consistent and proportional elevation of serum cholesterol was observed after one week of cholesterol administration. In addition, the simultaneous administration of ß-sitosterol prevented this hypercholesteremia.Keywords
