Cholesterol delivery to the adrenal glands estimated by adrenal venous sampling: An in vivo model to determine the contribution of circulating lipoproteins to steroidogenesis in humans

These in vivo observations suggest that circulating LDL may contribute to adrenal steroidogenesis in humans as inferred from adrenal venous-IVC apoB concentration differences. AVS is a feasible method to investigate the relationships between lipoproteins and steroidogenesis.
