Cholesterol synthesis in vivo and in vitro in the WHHL rabbit, an animal with defective low density lipoprotein receptors
These studies were undertaken to measure rates of synthesis of digitonin-precipitable sterols in vivo and in vitro in control rabbits (New Zealand (NZ) control) and in homozygous Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits (WHHL) that lack receptors for low density lipoproteins (LDL). The plasma chole...
