| Summary: | see document === Elevated circulating cholesterol levels (CeL) almost certainly contribute to the development of atherosclerosis (Kritchevsky, 1958; Reiser, 1973). The incidence of this vascular disease appears to be increasing in humans. A detailed understanding of factors influencing the levels of circulating cholesterol is essential before effective treatment and preventive measures for the control of atherosclerosis can be determined. Both genetic and environmental factors which influence CeL need to be investigated thoroughly... === Master of Science |
