Genetic factors at the enterocyte level account for variations inintestinal cholesterol absorption efficiency among inbred strains of mice
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Interindividual and interstrain variations in cholesterol absorption efficiency occur in humans and animals. We investigated physiological biliary and small intestinal factors that might determine variations in cholesterol absorption efficiency among inbred mouse strains. We found that there were significant differences in cholesterol absorption efficiency measured by plasma, fecal, and lymphatic methods: <25% in...
