Popis:	Experiments were performed on 50 rabbits. A possibility was established of preventing the experimental hypercholesteremia by the introduction of Plantago major leaves into the diet of experimental animals. Control group of rabbits received cholesterol alone. The content of blood cholesterol ranged in them from 350 to 785 mg percent. Lipoidosis of aorta was marked in the majority of the cases. In the experimental groups rabbits were given leaves of extract of Plantago major in addition to cholesterol. An inhibition in the development of hypercholesteremia and atherosclerosis was noted (see Table 1). By the third month of experiment blood cholesterol content in the majority of the experimental animals dropped to the initial level.
