When rabbits were fed exclusively with 50g of cabbage per kg of body weight per day, a high increase in serum cholesterol resulted. When such animals received, during the period of dietary defficiency, 1g of equal mixture of K and Mg salts of L-aspartic acid per kg of body weight orally twice a day, increase in serum cholesterol was lowered.
Increase in total lipids, neutral fats, lipid phosphorus, and serum globulin fractions, and decrease in serum albumin, observed during the dietary defficiency, were also partly depressed by L-aspartate feeding.
It was concluded that L-aspartate had favorable effects on hypercholesteremia caused by fasting.
