Effect of exercise on Hepatic cholesterof of rats fed diets high in saturated or unsaturated fats

Effects of exercise and thyroxine on cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis in aging rats

“…In refeeding experiments, reductase activity returned to normal more slowly that it disappeaared (Regen et , 1966 Feeding a 24% corn oil diet increased liver cholesterol and fecal excretion of cholesterol significantly. Similar amounts of coconut oil had no effect on these pairameters (Gollnick and Taylor, 1969). It is generally assumed that fat feeding increases serum cholesterol, but the above studies did not strongly support this, at least in the rat^ There is preliminary evidence that the physiological demand for bile acids may control hepatic cholesterolgenesis.…”
