Abstract
ONCLEY et al.1 have shown that in man about 75 per cent of the plasma cholesterol is associated with the β-lipoprotein, the remaining 25 per cent being associated with the α-lipoprotein. Examination of serum lipoproteins of patients suffering from hyper-cholesteræmia has revealed a moderate depression of α-lipoprotein and elevation of β-lipoprotein2. Bossak et al.3 reported serum lipoproteins in various animal species and showed that, with ingestion of cholesterol, β-lipoprotein increased with a simultaneous depression of α-lipoprotein.
