title: Different effects of dietary saturated fatty acids on cholesterol metabolism in nonhuman primates.
abstract: Dietary saturated fatty acids did not act alike in their effect on plasma cholesterol concentrations in non-human primates. Palmitic acid was less hypercholesterolemic than lauric plus myristic acids. Myristic appeared to be a greater offender than lauric.
