Hepatic sterol synthesis rates in neonatal and adult hamsters. Sterol synthesis rates were measured in vivo using 3H2O in neonates (−1 to 25 days of age) and adult males (closed square) and females (open square). Data are presented as nmol 3H2O converted to sterol per h per g liver per animal (A) and per g liver per 100 g animal (B). Data are presented as means ± SEM in 6–16 animals. In Panel C, the relative expression levels of HMGR and β-actin are shown in hamsters of increasing ages (AD-adult male, AF-adult female). * depicts significant differences (P<0.05) from values at the previous age. Slope for sterol synthesis rate per 100 g animal was −616.3±105.9 (P<0.001).
