(UPI) 'Stress1 Can Lower Cholesterol Level, Scientists Learn By DEI.OS SMITH L'PI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) What began as an effort to pinpoint the influences of the central nervous system on blood cho- lestrol ended in a clear demon stration that "stress" all by it self can lower blood cholesterol levels. Through monkeys the five scientists were chipping at the hio nrnhlpm nf science from the viewpoint of lengthening the human lite span.

The former Oregon man ap peared before Municipal Judge James D. Tane to enter h i s plea on four counts. He h a d been scheduled to have a prelim inary hearing. Three other counts were dismissed. Hawkins, free on $5,000 bail, assertedly owes the state $14, 000 in back taxes. Investigators claim he never filed a state in come tax return from the time he came to California in 1956 to the time of the complaint Sentencing is set for Nov. 5 in Superior Court. ening is going to come about I science has to learn how to pre-1 vent human arteries from' "hardening," or at least slow the process. Controls Rale j But first it must understand j an me inings wnicn are involv ed. Cholesterol, a blood fat, is the evident hardening substance. It gets deposited into artery lining from tlie blood stream. The implication is that the amount of chnlcstrol in the blood controls the hardening rate. A powerful scientific case has been made for the high fat diet the common American diet being responsible for high cho lesterol blood levels.

We repeat it here as the battering ram to clear the way for a "relatively" peaceful life (or Grace. We agree with her that love can't be forced nr (aked, just to please Grandma.

Pryor nf Lawrence, Kansas ested scientists have become aware that other factors must be involved, too. At the University of California, Los Angeles campus, the five scientists "restrained,, monkeys in chairs with loose straps. The idea was to trace central ner vous system influences on how various blood fats moved about in their blood streams. To be "restrained," even loosely, is a stressful experi ence (or a Rhesus monkey which normally bounces around. The scientists realized at once that this "stress" was influencing the amounts of their blood cho lesterol. This led to a formal experi ment with six male and six female monkeys. Their usual blood cholesterol levels were es tablished in advance. Diet and body weight were precisely "controlled" so these influences on blood cholesterol would be uniform. That left only "stress" as the measurable influences The mon keys were "restrained" (or per iods of 10 days to 45 days and their blood chemistries were studied systematically. Level Drops The blood cholesterol level o( the males dropped 35.5 per cent under "stress." It dropped in the females, too, but not nearly as much, the drop amounting to 19 per cent. After the monkeys were released from "restraint" their blood cholesterol levels re turned to what they had been. The scientists didn't know what to make of these findings, but they intend to find out just how body chemistry's handling of choleserol was altered by stress. They also were conscious of contradictions. Human sur gical patients have showed de creases in cholesterol levels in response to "surgical stress," but there also have been in dications that "occupational stresses" may increase human levels. However, it was clear to Rita M. Meier, J. H. Greenhoot, Irma Shonley, J. R. Goodman and R. W. Porter that "cerebral factors" meaning the most complex part of the complicated human brain play a part in controlling the chemistry of blood fats and, as the result, has a say-so in the extent and speed of artery-hardening.
