Conclusions
The effect of exercise on cholesterol metabolism in mice was quantitatively studied after the administration of 4-C14 labelled cholesterol. The distribution of isotope in the sterol and saponifiable fractions of liver and excreta was determined after periods from 3 to 21 days.
It was observed that exercise stimulated [1] the degradation of cholesterol, in particular, its conversion to acidic products, and [2] the excretion of the sterol itself.
From the data obtained it is concluded that this effect of enhanced cholesterol metabolism is obtained only when exercise is continued over a longer period.
