Abstract

The turnover rate of plasma total esterified cholesterol was measured after the intravenous injection of tritiated mevalonic acid in 16 men with coronary heart disease. Four subjects were normocholesterolemic and 12 were hypercholesterolemic; among the latter, 3 suffered from familial hypercholesterolemia and 6 were overweight.
