title: 2-14C-mevalonate oxidation during rat development.
abstract: In vivo oxidation of 2-14C-mevalonate is very low in 1- to 3-day-old rats and then rises to adult levels. Kidney slices oxidize mevalonate at an equal rate during development. However, at the time of weaning the rate is transiently increased in male rats only.
