IN AN earlier study of ambulatory human subjects, significant increases in the serum concentration of lipids and cholesterol were observed to correlate with emotionally stressful events in the life situation.' Other workers have also observed such changes.? The changes seemed to occur independently of diet and exercise, but since it was not possible in ambulatory subjects to rule out such influences, the present study was undertaken while subjects were hospitalized, and with careful attention to maintaining diet and exercise constant.
