Summary

Golden hamsters with spontaneous hypercholesterolemia at 22°C developed a further increase in plasma cholesterol when they were maintained at 6°C. This hypercholesterolemia was associated with a redistribution of plasma cholesterol between VLDL and HDL. Plasma cholesterol transported in the VLDL decreased while cholesterol in the HDL increased by 45%. The LDL profile was not significantly modified.
