RESUMO

The equilibration of cholesterol between plasma and atherosclerotic arteries was studied in 13 patients with obstructive atherosclerosis 2-96 days after the intravenous and/or oral administration of isotopic cholesterol. Arterial specimens were obtained in 12 patients during surgery for arterial reconstruction and in a 13th patient at autopsy. Equilibration was calculated as the specific radioactivity of cholesterol in the arterial tissue relative to that in the plasma (percent).
