title: Cholesterol uptake in the human intestine. Hypo- and hyperresponsiveness.
abstract: Cholesterol uptake was studied at the small intestine biopsies taken from patients without intestinal malfunction. Three distinct groups of patients were described: those with low (146 +/- 19) nmol/mm2 per 2 h), medium (455 +/- 18 nmol/mm2 per 2 h) and high (833 +/- 24 nmol/mm2 per 2 h) rates of cholesterol uptake. Positive correlation between cholesterol uptake and intestinal cholesterol synthesis was observed in the last two groups.
