Effect of dietary whale fat in serum cholesterol levels 71 Subjects and method. The subjects, 40 men and women, all healthy people between the ages of 45 and 65 years of age, were all volunteers. They carried on with their usual work throughout the period of the experiment, which lasted six months. No active disease was detected by routine clinical investi- gation. All had normal blood counts, erythrocyte sedimen- tation rates, urine analysis and blood urea level. Ten persons (10) of the group, 5 males and 5 females acted as control group and were asked to withdraw the whale fat from their diet, for the time of the experiment. The other group, consisting of 30 persons, 15 males and 15 females was asked to eat at least 150—200 gr. of whale fat (blubber from the Pilot whale) daily to cover about 40 °/o of their caloric intake and to avoid eating any other form of fat for the period mentioned. All were supervised regularly to ensure their adherence to the diet. Blood samples were taken after three and six months period, and analysed in duplicate for serum total cholesterol by the method of Abell et al. modi- fied by Anderson and Keys (1956). Results.
