TC indicates total cholesterol; FC, free cholesterol; and CE, cholesteryl ester. Values are mean (SD), expressed in micrograms per milligram cell protein. There was no dose response of any of the variables to increasing dietary cholesterol. When the data from the 1-, 2-, and 4-egg diets were combined, FC was significantly increased vs the 0-egg diet (P <.05).
