Similar hypocholesterolemic effect of ileal bypass and ileal excision in pigs.
We have compared the effect of partial ileal bypass versus ileal excision on the level of serum cholesterol in cholesterol-fed pigs. Both surgical procedures drastically lowered serum cholesterol in spite of continuation of cholesterol feeding. No evidence was obtained for a differential hypocholesterolemic effect of ileal bypass and excision.
