Effect of alimentation on human serum squalene levels.
Five subjects consumed a meal containing ca. 1.5 mg squalene. Postprandial serum samples showed that in three of the subjects squalene and lipid levels reached maxima at 3 hr. Squalene levels in the low density lipoproteins of these subjects also increased. The results indicate that alimentation is a major factor in the variation in serum squalene levels.
