Regulation of rates of cholesterol synthesis in vivo in the liver and carcass of the rat measured using [3H]water.

This study was undertaken to determine the mechanisms that regulate cholesterol synthesis in vivo and to quantitate the relative importance of the liver and extrahepatic tissues as sites for sterol synthesis. Rats were administered [3H]water intravenously and killed 1 hour later. The amount of [3H]w...
