Cholesterol metabolism in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
The absorption of radioactive cholesterol tended to be increased, and the catabolism of cholesterol detected by the decay of radioactive cholesterol in the serum after the intraperitoneal injection was delayed in ALR in comparison with normotensive WK rats. The reactive hypercholesterolemia in the ALR which had been selectively bred for a greater hypercholesterolemia was ascribed to the decreased cholesterol catabolism.
