RESUMO

Cholesterol synthesis has been extensively investigated in various tissues of lower mammals; however, there is little specific information concerning cholesterologenesis in the primate. Furthermore, experiments in whole animals suggest that important differences may exist in the features of cholesterologenesis in the dog and rat versus the monkey and man. Using the new world squirrel monkey, therefore, we performed the present studies to determine the rates of cholesterologenesis in various tissues per unit weight, to define the relative rates of whole organ synthesis, and to evaluate the operation of control mechanisms in these tissues.
