Metabolism of [125I] tyramine cellobiose-labeled low density lipoproteins in squirrel monkeys

OW Portman, M Alexander - Atherosclerosis, 1985 - Elsevier
Low density lipoproteins labeled with [125 I] tyramine cellobiose ([125 I] TC-LDL) were
removed from the circulation of squirrel monkeys at a simlar but slightly slower rate than
LDLs labeled with 125 I,[125 I] hydroxyphenyl propionic acid, or [3 H] leucine. After the
simultaneous injection of [125 I] TC-LDL and [131 I] LDL labeled with 131 ICl, the 125 I was
also removed at a slightly slower rate than 131 I. Most of the radioactivity was retained in
tissues and not excreted during the 24 h after injection of [125 I] TC-LDL. This finding …
