[Decrease in the degree of lipoid infiltration of rabbit tissues during feeding with cholesterol freed from autoxidation products].
Lipid accumulation in the rabbit liver and myocardium has been investigated by histochemical and biochemical methods. The rabbits received cholesterol that contained 5% of autooxidation products or purified cholesterol. Lipid accumulation took place in the liver and intramural myocardial vessels during feeding of rabbits with autooxidated cholesterol. Feeding with pure cholesterol free from autooxidation products caused but slight changes or no changes at all.
