The chemical composition of snail gelatin

Abstract

The present work with castrates has shown that the effect of cholesterol in males is not controlled by their secondary sex hormones. However, it is of primary importance to elucidate the precise mechanism of the cholesterol-vitamin A effect in male rats before attempting to discover why it is not manifested in females. SUMMARY 1. The effects of a dietary supplement of cholesterol on liver vitamin A stores have been deter- mined for normal and castrated young male rats.
