Abstract
By an new in vivo method using 1-14-C-acetate, it becomes apparent that the intestine is the main organ concerned in cholesterol synthesis. The liver contributes a mere 13.5% to the total. These results challenge the traditional theory which considers the liver as responsible for producing most of cholesterol synthesized by the rat.Entities:
