  • Title: Diurnal variation of plasma methyl sterols and cholesterol in the rat: relation to hepatic cholesterol synthesis.
    Author: Strandberg TE, Tilvis RS, Miettinen TA.
    Journal: Lipids; 1984 Mar; 19(3):202-5. PubMed ID: 6538923.
    Abstract:
    Free cholesterol of plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL) of the rat was high and that of plasma very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) was low during the dark period of the diurnal cycle. Variations in the esterified plasma sterols were inconsistent. Free methyl sterols were high in all lipoproteins during the dark phase. Simultaneously, the incorporation of 14C-acetate into nonsaponifiable sterols and the concentrations of free methyl sterols and cholesterol in the liver were elevated.
