Long term steroid metabolism balance studies in subjects on cholesterol-free and cholesterol-rich diets: comparison between normal and hypercholesterolemic individuals
Regulation of cholesterol metabolism was investigated in eight hypercholesterolemic and five normal individuals by combined intravenous pulse-labeling with radioactive cholesterol and fecal steroids balance techniques.Mean serum cholesterol concentrations ranged from 168 to 717 mg/dl.Experiments were scheduled in the following sequence: a cholester
