Thirty-six male @entity5434 monkeys were fed a basal diet (180 g/day, 24% protein, 38% @entity1735 and 20% fat) for a period of 17 months. At that time, the animals were divided into two groups. One group (6 animals) continued on the basal diet (BASAL group), while the others (30 animals) received an atherogenic diet (ATHER group) containing 4.08 g/kg @entity165 . Blood samples were drawn for clinical chemistry analyses. Serum @entity165 rose dramatically in the ATHER group, an average increase of 350 mg/dl over basal-diet values after two weeks on the atherogenic diet. Serum @entity1674 followed the same pattern. HDL- @entity165 in the atherogenic-diet group decreased sharply. These animals also had slightly elevated BUN, @entity414 and SGOT levels. Skin @entity4741 were also observed in the ATHER group, but were absent in animals fed the basal diet. Body weight among all animals remained relatively constant. Minimal changes in clinical chemistry values other than those noted above are evidence of the low physiological stress placed on the animals by this dietary regimen.
