Sterol synthesis is up-regulated in cholesterol-loaded pigeon macrophages during induction of cholesterol efflux

The extent to which cholesterol synthesis is modulated in macrophage foam cells by changes in cholesterol influx and efflux was determined using thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal macrophages from normal and cholesterol-fed White Carneau (WC) and Show Racer (SR) pigeons. In peritoneal macrophages fr...
