Making the assumptions that subjects have achieved an equilibrium between their OC intake and excretion, that they reach a new OC equilibrium faster than OC concentrations in fish are changing, and that the subjects' fish consumption is stable over time, then the decay of the body burden of OCs should be governed by the decrease in OC concentration in fish over time.
Then questionnaires, medical records, and measurements of albumin excretion were used to determine whether they had diabetic nephropathy.
They also demonstrated that the fractional excretion of sodium was unchanged during treatment, and further suggested that the acute changes were followed by chronic sodium homeostasis and maintenance of the increased total body sodium.
Interestingly, a similar whole-body accumulation of plant sterols, less severe than in human sitosterolemia, has been reported recently in SHR, SHRSP and WKY rats, but not in the other genetically related rat strains, such as SD, Wistar and WKA rats [ 16 ] . These rats exhibit defects at two levels: increased absorption of sterols (plant and animal) at the intestinal level and decreased excretion of sterols into bile [ 16 ] . The higher sterol absorption in the intestine and the lower biliary excretion of plant sterols in these rat strains led us to hypothesise that Abcg5 or Abcg8 gene mutations may be responsible for the sitosterolemia observed in these hypertensive rats.
