CHANGES IN THE SOLUBILITY OF CHOLESTEROL DURING THE INTERACTION OF CHYLE AND PLASMA
1 The Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, Oxford
1. In the rat, the clearing of chyle by heparinized plasma allows the subsequent clearing of turbid suspensions of cholesterol.
2. This secondary clearing of cholesterol is probably due to solution of the cholesterol in the fatty acid-protein complexes produced during the clearing of chyle.
3. This process is presumably related to the solution of cholesterol suspensions in colloidal soaps, and some observations on this system are presented.
