title: Dietary cholesterol supplementation in the spontaneously diabetic rat.
abstract: Dietary cholesterol supplementation was used to increase serum cholesterol concentration in diabetic and non-diabetic rats. With the use of numerous dietary formulations, extremely elevated serum cholesterol concentrations and gastrointestinal intolerance were found. We conclude that there are unacceptable side effects with a vast number of exogenous cholesterol supplemented diets which preclude standard and long-term usage.
