Sterol synthesis by the ocular lens of the rat during postnatal development.
Great amounts of plasma membranes are formed during early postnatal development of the ocular lens as lens epithelial cells differentiate into fiber cells. Little information is available on the source of the lipids, and particularly cholesterol, required for formation of these plasma membranes. The...
