Figure 1 Cholesterol and non-cholesterol sterol concentrations and esterification in carotid artery wall in triads by tissue cholesterol concentration. Absolute values (mg/100 g of tissue for cholesterol and µg/100 g of tissue for non-cholesterol sterols) of free sterols are given on top, and those of esterified ones at bottom of each column. Esterification percentages of tissue sterols, mean ± SE, are given by continuous horizontal lines, and those of respective serum values by dashed lines without given data.
