The serum phospholipids, on the other hand, do not keep pace with this rise in serum cholesterol. Hence i t is believed that one of the factors favoring the deposition of cholesterol in the intima is enhanced because of the lack of a colloid stabilizer which may be reflected by the proportion of phospholipids in the serum. Conversely, in the normal
