Validation of deuterium incorporation against sterol balance for measurement of human cholesterol biosynthesis

To examine the validity of the deuterium (D) incorporation technique for measurement of human cholesterol synthesis rates, D uptake from D2O into cholesterol was compared to sterol balance in 13 subjects each under three controlled diet settings. Subjects (age 62 ± 3.6 yr, body weight 74 ± 4.0 kg, B...
