- Abstract: Hypercholesteremia was induced by cholesterol feeding of rabbits for 10 weeks. Gross examination of aorta of these animals showed an evidence of atheromatous lesions. The endogenous catecholamines in heart, adrenal gland, spleen, brain, liver and kidney of these hypercholesteremic rabbits were markedly reduced as compared to those of normal animals, respectively. There may exist some correleration between the serum cholesterol and tissue catecholamines.
