title: Effect of the type of diet on the distribution of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase in rat small intestine.
abstract: The jejunoileal gradient for the HMG-CoA reductase activity in the microsomal fraction of the epithelial cells of the small intestine of rats given commercial pellets was reserved within a few days after changing the ration to a semipurified diet. The response of the reductase was essentially the same in villus and crypt cells.
