The effects on the plasma lipids of 50 g. meals of arachis oil are compared with those of a synthetic oil comprised of the glyceride esters of mainly C 8 and C 10 fatty acids. The synthetic oil did not contain sterols or phospholipids. Both the oils caused similar molar increases of plasma glyceride but, whereas the plasma became lipæmic after the arachis oil, the C 8 /C 10 oil caused no changes in the turbidity. Approximately equal increases of the plasma lipid‐phosphorus and cholesterol occurred after both oils and hence it is concluded that neither lipæmia nor sterols and phospholipids present in the oils were responsible for the increases of plasma cholesterol and phospholipid.
