Role of liver in the synthesis of cholesterol and the clearance of low density lipoproteins in the cynomolgus monkey

The suitability of the adult male cynomolgus monwith the weight of that animal in such a way that svnthesis key as a model for investigating genetic mechanisms that regulate dietary cholesterolemic response was evaluated by carrying out a systematic characterization of the major aspects of decreases by approximately 10 mg/day per kg bod; weight (bw) for each 10-fold increase in the weight of the adult cholesterol metabolism in this saecies.In monkevs maintained ~ lipoproteins (LDL-C) is now fairly well understood in most experimental animals and humans.The rate of cholesterol synthesis in the whole animal varies inversely Abbreviations: LDL-C, cholesterol carried in low density lipoproteins; bw, body weight; EDTA, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid; DPS, digitoninprecipitable stemls; n;.B, tyramine cellobiose; GLc, gas-liquid duomatography.
