We investigated hepatic cholesterol homeostasis in four homozygous sitosterolemic subjects from two unrelated families who showed enhanced absorption, diminished removal and increased tissue and plasma concentrations of sitosterol (24-ethyl cholesterol). Measurements of hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglu

3-hydroxy,3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors reduce biliary cholesterol saturation index (CSI) in duodenal bile in hypercholesterolemic patients and might be useful for gallstone dissolution. However, preliminary data suggest that these drugs are not effective in this respect
Because long-term alcohol intake leads to severe alterations of cholesterol metabolism resulting in both elevated serum cholesterol levels and increased hepatic concentrations of cholesterol esters, we investigated the effect of long-term ethanol consumption on the hepatic messenger RNA (mRNA) conte
Cytosolic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) synthase catalyzes the formation of HMG-CoA, the substrate for the rate-controlling enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. To explore the regulation in liver, we developed a new, accurate, and reliable reversed-phase ion-pair chromat
