## Abstract Elevated 3βhydroxyβ3βmethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMGβCoA) reductase expression supports synthesis of prenyl pyrophosphate intermediates required for tumor growth. In this study, the copy number of HMGβCoA reductase mRNA was determined in solid tumor and leukemic cell lines using competit

Although plasma lipoproteins have been demonstrated to have a major role in regulating cholesterol biosynthesis in extraneural cells, no data concerning such regulation are available for developing brain, when cholesterol synthesis is especially active. Glial primary cultures derived from neonatal r
## Abstract The specific activity of HMGβCoA reductase, the major rateβlimiting enzyme in the sterol biosynthetic pathway, declined linearly with increasing cell density in four different lines of mammalian cell cultures. As expected, this caused the rates of sterol synthesis from [^14^C]acetate to
