title: The composition of fatty acids of the serum and erythrocytes after an alimentary cholesterol load.
abstract: The content of certain fatty acids of the serum and erythrocytes was compared in rabbits before and after 11 days on a diet with added cholesterol. The alimentary cholesterol load reduced the levels of linolic and arachidonic acids in the serum, while in the erythrocytes the level of linolic acid was increased. Changes in the levels of the remaining determined fatty acids were not significant statistically.
