Action of three bile acids on hepatic and intestinal cholesterogenesis in the rat.
Incorporation of [1(14)-C] acetate into cholesterol by subcellular particles from the liver and the small intestine of rats with a biliary diversion and a duodenal perfusion of sodium taurocholate, taurochenodeoxycholate or taurodehydrocholate, was studied in vitro. In the liver, taurochenodeoxycholate prevented the increase of cholesterol synthesis induced by biliary drainage. Taurocholate had no action on cholesterol synthesis at any time, day or night. Intestinal synthesis of cholesterol was reduced by taurocholate and taurochenodeoxycholate but was not modified by taurodehydrocholate infusion.
