Effects of administration of high dose of nicotinic acid on the concentration of aortic cholesterol and fecal excretion of neutral sterols and bile acids were studied in rats fed cholesterol-free and cholesterol-containing diets. High dose of nicotinic acid as compared to adequate dose caused significant decrease in aortic cholesterol and increase in the fecal excretion of neutral sterols and bile acids.
