title: [Comparative physiology: saturated fatty acids and cholesterolemia in ruminants].
abstract: Despite of great intestinal absorption of saturated fatty acids from rumen elaboration the cholesterolemia of ruminants is low. A such state comes from an important production of propionic acid in the rumen reducing hepatic cholesterol synthesis.
