The Effect of Diet on Liver Cholesterol in Chickens1

Warren M. Sperry and V. A. Stoyanoff

Chemical Laboratory, Babies' Hospital and Department of Biological Chemistry, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York

Total, free and combined cholesterol have been determined in the livers of chicks which had been fed diets of varying cholesterol content.

The results show that chickens behave like mammals in absorbing cholesterol and depositing it in the liver, but they differ from rats in depositing proportionately more free cholesterol.

Occasional chicks showed exceptionally high cholesterol values on diets which were low in cholesterol, indicating a marked individual variation in ability to assimilate this sterol.

1 This investigation was supported in part by the Josiah Macy, Jr., Foundation.
