Abstract

The attention paid by scholars to the role that cholesterin plays in the economy, whether in the normal or pathological state, has given rise to an interesting series of research works with results and conclusions of real importance for the physiologist as well as for the clinician. The exact knowledge of this lipoid, and its diffusion, dates from such a relatively short time that cholesterin could be considered as a "new body" in biological chemistry.
