Rats fed cholesterol show an adaptive response over several weeks with lowering of the initial rise of choleseremia to near normal levels. This reducation of cholesteremia is augmented by including milk powder in the diet. A similar effect is obtained by feeding 0.1% beta-hydroxy-beta-methylglutaric acid (HMG) in the diet. The evidence suggests that milk powder contains HMG.
喂食胆固醇的大鼠在几周内会出现适应性反应，使最初升高的胆固醇血症降至接近正常水平。在饮食中添加奶粉可增强这种胆固醇血症的降低效果。通过在饮食中喂食0.1%的β-羟基-β-甲基戊二酸（HMG）也可获得类似效果。有证据表明奶粉中含有HMG。
