Abstract
Summary
1. Distribution of cholesterol in 7 tissues of normal and dystrophic rabbits was determined. 2. Significant decreases in serum, liver, heart, kidney, and spleen cholesterol occurred in animals receiving dystrophic diet plus 10% methyl linoleate as compared to those receiving dystrophic diet alone. 3. Vit. E caused a lowering of cholesterol in serum, muscle, and heart tissue. 4. 10% methyl linoleate did not significantly lower tissue cholesterol of normal animals. 5. Dystrophic rabbits receiving methyl linoleate had similar tissue cholesterol to normal rabbits with the exception of muscle tissue.
