Studies on the cholesterol synthesis in the human adipose tissue: I - effects of amino acids and ascorbic acid.
Incubation of various amino acids in glucose-saline-ascorbic acid medium with human adipose tissue homogenates gives very high cholesterol values. Ascorbic acid thus is an important factor in cholesterol synthesis as well as in general metabolic shifts from pyruvic acid and acetyl CoA.
