... < 0.01) reflecting a higher rate of cholesterol absorption compared to normal rats. This change was dependent on the ACAT activity since the CL·277082 treatment largely prevented the appearance of [ 3 H]-cholesterol in chylomicrons (-88%; p < 0.001), and as a consequence in the other lipoprotein...

...M.O. Reynier; H. Lafont; C. Crotte; A. Gerolami The purpose of this work was to determine whether or not cholesterol transport by intestinal brush border is influenced by fat-enriched diets and therefore plays a role in the regulation of cholesterol absorption. This study was carried out on rats...

In contrast, lengthening of the fatty acid chain caused a moderate increase in the rates of cholesterol secretion (internal and external) and of transformation into bile acids. Thus...
