Abstract/Summary
The effects of a synthetic drug (Xenical) vs. a natural dietary supplement (Fibrenet) on the cholesterol levels of the liver and blood serum of Swiss mice after three weeks of feeding were determined using UV-VIS Spectroscopy. The mice that had Xenical added to the diet had a lower level of cholesterol in both the blood serum and the liver compared to the group of mice that took the Fibrenet.
