The concentration of serum cholesterol is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease in humans; the higher this concentration the greater the risk for heart disease. This cause-and-effect relationship has stimulated the investigation of cholesterol metabolism and its regulation. In case animals are to be used to gain further insight into human cholesterol metabolism, the proper choice of animal model is crucial.
