Cholestanol metabolism in patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis: absorption, turnover, and tissue deposition
To study the metabolism of cholestanol in patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), we measured the cholestanol absorption, the cholesterol and cholestanol turnover, and the tissue content of sterols in two patients. Cholestanol absorption was ∼5.0%. The rapid exchangeable pool of cholesta...
