Abstract
Dietary cholesterol supplementation was used to increase serum cholest erol concentration in diabetic and non-diabetic rats. With the use of numerous dietary formulations, extremely elevated serum cholesterol co ncentrations and gastrointestinal intolerance were found. We conclude that there are unacceptable side effects with a vast number of exogeno us cholesterol supplemented diets which preclude standard and long-ter m usage.
