homeostasis/metabolism
• 1.8-fold increase in plasma total cholesterol levels, however plasma lipoprotein is normal
|
• elevation of total cholesterol is attributed to a six-fold increase of LDL cholesterol
• in vivo clearance of 125I-LDL from circulation is retarded, uptake of DiI-labled LDL by hepatocytes is decreased, and uptake of 3H-CE-labeled LDL by the liver is lower compared to wild-type, indicating decreased in vivo catabolic rate of LDL, however uptake of LDL by primary cultured hepatocytes in vitro is no different from wild-type
