Plasma, VLDL/LDL, and liver cholesterol concentrations in neonatal and adult hamsters. Cholesterol concentrations were measured enzymatically in plasma (A; circles/squares) and VLDL/LDL FPLC fractions (A; triangles/diamonds) and by GLC in livers (B) and extra-hepatic tissues (C). Adult males were depicted by closed squares and diamonds and adult females by open squares and diamonds. Data are presented as means ± SEM in 3–18 animals (plasma), 4–30 animals (liver), or 7–15 animals (extra-hepatic tissues). Cholesterol contents in VLDL/LDL peaks were obtained from 3 pooled plasma samples. * depicts significant differences (P<0.05) from values at the previous age. Slopes for liver cholesterol concentration was −0.02±0.01 (P=0.022) and carcass cholesterol concentration was 0.02±0.01 (P=0.002).
