following resection of approximately two-thirds of the liver under carefully controlled metabolic conditions , there was no change in the rate of hepatic cholesterol synthesis or rldl binding in the remaining liver , but the clearance of chylomicrons , rldl , and rhdl diminished by 67 % , 26 % , and 17 % , respectively , suggesting that in the rat the liver was responsible for the degradation of approximately 97 % , 39 % , and 27 % , respectively , of these lipoprotein fractions .
