Although the anticoagulant-treated groups showed a lower lipid phosphorus level at the end of 8 weeks the differencefrom the group II values was not nearly as marked as in the case of the cholesterol figures. When the serum cholesterol and lipid phosphorus values of the anticoagulant- treated birds were compared statistically with the untreated group the following results were obtained:-- 384 ANTICOAGULANTS AND ATHEROSCLEROSIS (a) A highly significant difference was found between the serum cholesterols of the untreated and the heparin-treated animals (/~ ( 0.01); (b) A barely significant difference was found between the cholesterols of the untreated and the dicoumerol-treated groups (p) 0.1); (c) The lipid phosphorus levels of GONTROLo-- GHOLES.e--. 2500 HEPARIN4--.
