Evidence for an underestimation of the shunt pathway of mevalonate metabolism in slices of livers and kidneys from fasted rats and rats in diabetic ketosis

Evidence for an underestimation of the shunt pathway of mevalonate metabolism in slices of livers and kidneys from fasted rats and rats in diabetic ketosis

Yields of (14)CO(2) from [2-(14)C]mevalonate and [5-(14)C]mevalonate have been used by others to estimate the activity of the non-sterol-forming pathway, also called the mevalonate shunt pathway, and yields of (14)C in sterols have been used to estimate the activity of the sterol-forming pathway.
