Biosynthesis of 5α-cholestan-3β-ol in rat and guinea pig liver in vitro
The in vitro conversion of dl-mevalonate-2-C14 and cholesterol-4-C14 to 5α-cholestan-3β-ol was studied in liver homogenates of rats and guinea pigs. On the average 0.01–0.05% of the substrate radioactivity was converted to 5α-cholestan-3β-ol by the livers of both species during the 4 hr incubation p...
