Randomized trial measures cholesterol esterification rates in healthy individuals, indicating differences by sex.

This research aims to develop a method for determining the initial rate of cholesterol esterification in human plasma.
An enzymatic method measured free cholesterol in human plasma before and after incubation at 37 degrees C.
The cholesterol esterification rates were evaluated in 18 normal male and 10 normal female subjects.
The measurement duration was linear up to 40 minutes.
In males, the cholesterol esterification rate was 91 +/- 15 nmoles/hr/ml of plasma.
In females, the cholesterol esterification rate was 62 +/- 12 nmoles/hr/ml of plasma.

Patsch et al. (1976) studied this question.
