Yellow mice fed ad libitum exhibit a greater rate of lipogenesis and cholesterogenesis than their controls. Females show a fatty acid content in the liver and in extrahepatic tissues which is twice as high as the males. Unlike the males, they are hypercholesterolemic and also show an elevated rate of lipogenesis after an 18-hour fast.
