Abstract
Summary Feeding 0.03% diazasterol in essentially cholesterol-free diets to weanling rats for 3 or 6 weeks caused a large concentration of desmosterol in the brain and liver sterols. Studies using C14 showed that small amounts of acetate and glucose were incorporated into brain sterol of both control and inhibitor-fed rats and a mode by which this incorporation may account for the rate of desmosterol accumulation is postulated.Keywords
