Abstract Effect of feeding xenobiotics on serum cholesterol and high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol in rats was examined. Dietary addition of 0.05% PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls), 0.3% chloretone, 0.05% DDT, 0.3% BHA (3-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol), 0.3% caffeine, 0.2% BHT (2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol) or 0.2% sodium pentobarbital resulted in a significant increase in serum total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol. A good correlation between serum total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol was also observed. Dietary PCB, chloretone, caffeine and pentobarbital decreased the ratio of low density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol vs. HDL-cholesterol, but dietary BHA and BHT increased the ratio.
