Little of this information can as yet be taken as fitting evidence in a hypothesis of the function of and intermediary metabolism of cholesterol. Clinical studies for a score of years have been appearing at an increasing rate until at present there are available blood cholesterol figures for the majority of diseases. Yet there is little diagnostic or prognostic information obtained from a...Bibliography1. BLOOR WR: Cholesterol in blood, Jr. Biol. Chem., 1916, xxiv, 227-231. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.
