Cholesterol absorption is only about 57% of the amount fed. Many studies have inferred that this is reduced by dietary fiber and cholesterol load.

We will measure cholesterol absorption by giving one labeled tracer in a test meal and injecting another intravenously followed by measurement of the isotope ration in plasma cholesterol by mass spectometr.
