As a whole, our results demonstrated the remarkable homeostatic control mechanism of blood cholesterol in the normal Macaca mulatta monkey. Even the feeding of a diet with 21% hydrogenated coconut fat increased the plasma cholesterol level by only about 30 mg/100 ml and diet BL, by about 10 mg/100 ml. Generally, severe weight loss associated with inanition as a result of nutritional deficiencies decreased the blood cholesterol rather sharply.
