Cholesterol and Lipid Metabolism

Abstract Six batches of channel catfish, obtained from six different farms in North Carolina, were analyzed for lipid and cholesterol content. A total of 70 catfish were studied by high‐performance liquid chromatography for cholesterol estimation. The mean cholesterol value was 33.00 mg/100 g of edible fish portion. The mean fat content was 4.93 g/100 g of sample. Cholesterol content increased with fat, and fat increased with weight, whereas moisture decreased with increasing fat.
