title: Effect of insulin on blood cholesterol.
abstract: The effect of plain insulin was studied in normal mongrel dogs on blood cholesterol level. Intravenous administration of plain insulin in different doses on different groups of dogs does not cause any significant change in blood cholesterol level over a period extending upto 5 hrs. Exogenous insulin neither has any direct nor indirect effect on cholesterol metabolism in dogs.
