| Authors: | M M Sudjic and R Booth |
| Abstract: | Rat brain contains 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase activity, but this enzyme is far more active in 7-day-old brain than in adult brain. This difference may partly explain why cholesterol biosynthesis is more rapid in growing than in adult rat brain. |
