Soft fats significantly depressed serum cholesterol levels in diets with a high energy to protein ratio, while a low ratio depressed cholesterol regardless of fat type in chicks.

Hypothesis-generating for diet-lipid interactions in chicks; leaves open translation to human cholesterol management.
"Soft" fats were found to depress significantly serum cholesterol levels in diets of high energy to protein (E/P) ratio but not in diets of low energy to protein ratios. A low (E/P) ratio depressed serum cholesterol values, regardless of the type of fat in the diet. The E/P ratio may represent the unknown factor in the equations of workers who have tried to relate the effect of dietary fats to serum cholesterol levels.

Kokatnur et al. (1958) studied this question. Energy to protein (E/P) ratio and soft fats was evaluated on Serum and carcass cholesterol levels. Soft fats significantly depressed serum cholesterol levels in diets with a high energy to protein ratio, while a low ratio depressed cholesterol regardless of fat type in chicks.
