The conclusion from this group was that, in general, the decrease in blood cholesterol bears a direct relationship to the extent of increase of the basal metabolic rate. In nine of the 14 cases this was true. The lowest basal metabolic rate of plus 14 corresponded to a blood cholesterol of 196 mg. per 100 c.c., and the highest basal rate of plus 82 to a cholesterol of 90 mg. However, in this group...Bibliography1. EPSTEINLANDE AAH: Studies on blood lipoids; the relationship of cholesterol and protein deficiency to basal metabolism, Arch. Int. Med., 1922, xxx, 563-577.
