Effect of two week voluntary wheel running on the plasma lathosterol/cholesterol ratio as marker of endogenous cholesterol synthesis in exercising mice (RUN, n = 8) and sedentary controls (SED, n = 6). Plasma cholesterol and lathosterol levels were determined by gas chromatography as detailed in materials and methods. Data are given as means ± SD, *p < 0.05.
