Summary

The effect of choline on the cholesterol metabolism was studied in fasting rabbits. Administration of choline (0.5 gm per kg of body weight) delays the development of hypercholesteremia, increases the resistance of cholesterol in the plasma of these animals, promotes the retention of blood cholesterol by the liver and cholesterol excretion in the bile and intensifies the processes of cholesterol distruction in the liver.
