Extra-hepatic tissue 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 squares) and females (open squares). Data are presented as nmol 3H2O converted to sterol per h per g tissue per animal (A) and per g tissue per 100 g animal (B). Data are presented as means ± SEM in 3–16 animals. * depicts significant differences (P<0.05) from values at the previous age. Slope for sterol synthesis rate per 100 g animal was −157.0±16.7 (P<0.001).
