Uptake of maternal lipoprotein-cholesterol by the fetus. Female hamsters were mated. Hamster LDL and HDL were radiolabeled with [3H]cholesteryl oleate. At various times, radiolabeled LDL and HDL were injected into the femoral vein between 10.5 and 11.5 dpc. At 6, 12, 18, and 24 h postinjection, tissues were collected and the uptake of maternal cholesterol by the fetus was calculated. Data are presented as means (n = 3–4) ± SEM.
