[Relationship between the thickness of the aortic andventitia and cholesterol and lipid content of blood and aortic wall].

Correlation between the changes of blood cholesterol and lipoid level, exerted by cholesterol feeding and changes of the thickness of the aortic wall was investigated. Changes have been found to be significant, but as it was revealed by investigation of regression no correlation exits between them. Authors believe that thickening of the adventitia in atherosclerosis is a consequence of the morphological changes of the vessel-wall.
